A member asked:
I want to give my classmates candies for my bday. one of them has straberry allergy. in case i can only find strawberry, can i give her zyrtefc before?

No, no , no: The best treatment is avoidance. Never give another person something he is allergic to intentionally since the severity of the reaction can be be predicted. Zyrtec (cetirizine) would not prevent a systemic allergic reaction . Strawberry is not an essential nutrient, so why?
