"All very quickly he started to get incredibly uncomfortable and was continuously rubbing his face and getting upset. He went bright red all over his face & hands and white little spots appeared shortly before his eyes, lips & tongue started to swell. We left the restaurant immediately & drove to the nearest pharmacist who said to call 999 … which we did and these incredible paramedics arrived within 4 minutes! All very scary, they said he's had an anaphylaxis shock and gave Wolfie a small adrenaline shot."
