A lot of people informed me that they have not heard of it before. So here it is:

These hypersensitivity reactions usually disappear promptly after discontinuation of the fluoride.

- Antihistamines are commonly prescribed by doctors, and usually takes effect in 15 minutes.
- Prevention of foods with excess fluorides like sodas, bottled juices, processed cereals, chicken and fishes.
