  • Sanitary recommendation Foodborne histamine infections appear within ½ hour to a few hours after consuming the responsible dish and consist of an acute allergy. The symptoms observed are classically redness and “swelling” of the face, headaches, a feeling of heat and discomfort, associated with digestive signs (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea). People with allergies are particularly concerned because they may also have acute respiratory problems: they must absolutely refrain from consuming the foodstuffs mentioned and, in the event of such symptoms appearing, consult the emergency department without delay. Remission is usually spontaneous and accelerated by administration of an antihistamine.
