Lessons from cases of mortality due to food allergy in Israel: cow's milk protein should be considered a potentially fatal allergen.

TL;DRAbstract

Fatal reactions to cow's milk and hazelnut but not to peanut are the only reported food mortality cases in Israel. Although these patients had previous reactions following accidental exposures, none had experienced a life-threatening reaction. Patients at risk are not adequately evaluated by allergists, nor are they prescribed and instructed on the proper use of injectable epinephrine. Cow's milk should be considered a potentially fatal allergen.
