Paramedic Saves Toddler From Life-Threatening Allergic Reaction in Elad

A one-and-a-half-year-old toddler in the city of Elad developed a life-threatening allergic reaction after accidentally consuming milk on Monday. United Hatzalah paramedics were dispatched to Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai Street after the child, who is allergic to milk, drank it by mistake. Upon arrival, United Hatzalah paramedic Moti Shimoni quickly assessed the situation and recognized the signs of anaphylactic shock. He administered an EpiPen injection, a critical intervention for such emergencies, which stabilized the child's condition. Shimoni stated, "We were told she is allergic to milk and accidentally drank milk, which caused her a life-threatening allergic reaction. I injected her with an EpiPen (an automatic syringe used to inject a measured dose of adrenaline) and her condition stabilized." Thanks to the prompt and professional medical care, the immediate danger to the toddler's life passed. She was then transported by ambulance to the hospital for further monitoring and treatment to ensure her full recovery.
