Officers from Yanhang Station happened to be patrolling the area. When they saw the situation, they immediately worked with the residents to carry Ms. Chen into the police car. In just one minute, they brought her to the hospital, where they were able to save her life.
The girl is an exchange student from Vietnam studying at Southern Taiwan Tech with her boyfriend. He was driving her back home, when she started convulsing on the back of the scooter. Right when they arrived, she collapsed onto the floor struggling for breath. Her boyfriend said she’s allergic to seafood. Although it isn’t the first time something like this has happened, it was the most severe. But he said she didn’t eat seafood that day, and doesn’t know what could have caused the allergic reaction.

Allergic reactions to food can be very severe. A severe reaction might result in anaphylactic shock, bronchial spasm, or respiratory failure. It could even cause a drop in blood pressure, which might be life-threatening.
Doctors say that if you eat something that causes an allergic reaction, remember what it was to avoid eating it again. Thanks to timely help from their neighborhood officers, this girl’s life was luckily saved. The girl and her boyfriend can’t thank them enough.

“鹽行所線上巡邏員警正好行經該處，見狀立即警民合作，將陳女抱上巡邏車，短短在一分鐘之內護送到醫院，成功挽回外籍女學生寶貴生命”
身體不適的女子是越南籍的留學生，和男友都在南台科大唸書，當時男友騎機車載著她要回住處，女友坐在機車後座時就不斷抽搐發抖，等到一到目的地，她人就癱倒在地，呼吸困難，男友表示，女友對海鮮過敏，之前也發生過幾次類似情況，但都沒這麼嚴重，但當天並沒有吃到海鮮，不曉得是什麼東西引發過敏反應。

“食物的過敏反應有時候會很嚴重，像嚴重過敏反應，它可能會是那個過敏性休克，支氣管痙攣，還有呼吸衰竭，甚至會有血壓降低，這時候就會有生命危險”
醫生提醒，如果曾經吃了某些食物引起過敏，要把食物記下來，避免下次再吃到。幸好，這次有員警即刻救援，救了一命，女子和男友事後都對員警表達萬分感謝。
