Hiker has allergic reaction [Apr 27]

Unread post by dave »

Wilderness Rescue in Town of Shandaken in Ulster County

On April 27 at 3 PM, a member of Pine Hill Fire Department alerted Forest Ranger Martin about a hiker having an allergic reaction on Wittenberg Mountain. Rangers Franceschina and Martin responded with a Shandaken Emergency Medical Technician. The hiker is allergic to tree nuts and didn't realize there were tree nuts in their trail mix. The hiker broke out in hives and had swollen lips. At 5:15 p.m., Rangers met the hiker on the trail. The hiker's symptoms had subsided. Rangers escorted the subject to the trailhead where Shandaken Emergency Medical Services evaluated them. The hiker refused further medical treatment. Resources were clear at 6:16 p.m.
