摘要

Highway flares are commonly used by police and emergency service workers to divert traffic away from roadside accidents. We report a case of a 35-yr-old paramedic who developed a sudden, severe asthmatic reaction following a brief exposure to such a flare, necessitating intubation and a prolonged hospitalization.
