The victim may experience a range of symptoms, including difficulty breathing (with or without bluish discoloration around the lips and nailbeds), swelling of the mouth and/or eyelids, itching and hives, anxiety and restlessness. Teachers should call for emergency medical assistance (911). If the victim has an EpiPen, it should be administered at once.
