As reported by the patient - "patient has a rare allergy to palm oil (aka citric acid) which is a common ingredient in many products.She had been experiencing mild reactions to the whitening foam so far, but on (b)(6) 2021 she accidentally used more foam than usual.Less than a minute after putting on aligners, she began having an increasingly severe allergic reaction.She tried to wait it out, but it lasted for 6 hours and she eventually went to a hospital and has been staying there since.Patient had not eaten anything yet that day, which rules out other potential causes.She had recently started a new medication which she didn't realize contained palm oil, which may have contributed to the reaction in combination with the increased amount of whitening foam applied.
