Yes you could (assuming no allergies or gi bleeds) and just inform the incoming EMTs

How can one preemptively test if they have an allergy? Is there a dosage that is known to trigger detectable allergy symptoms without going full anaphylaxis?

I'm getting up there in age and that is presumably something that I should learn about myself...

As an EMT, I’d say to ask your primary care provider :-)

Don’t want to suggest you do something and end up with anaphylaxis.

And this right here is the problem. Possibly-imperfect knowledge is being self-censored for legal concerns, and what we are left with is silence.

A bunch of people don’t even have a primary care provider now.

It’s not out of legal concern. I do not know how one tests an allergy, I’m not an MD..

Im sure google could suggest some options or maybe a test.
