Donkey's milk allergy

A 25 years-old woman, with a history of personal atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma and hay fever, experienced a facial angioedema 5 minutes after consuming fresh donkey's milk for the first time (Fig. 1). She developed dyspnea and collapsed after a few minutes. The patient required administration of adrenaline and corticosteroids. During her childhood, her atopic dermatitis was treated with different topical treatments including donkey's milk based emollients. She never presented reactions to this topical treatment and she had no history of food allergy.
