A friend has an allergy, I have a question

An 18 year old Female friend of mine has an Allergy to VODKA. On Saturday, May 8th, 2010, we were at a party, she ended up consuming a lot vodka jello shooters.
The following Sunday (May 9th) She began having symptoms of high fever. She has been bed drawn ever since. She frequently wakes up in sweats, but today she had her first cold chill. She woke up freezing, yet still had a high fever.

Any questions on ways to cure the problem the fastest would be much appreciated. She just sleeps every day, all day pretty much and I feel there must be more to do to make her feel better than just sleep.

Thank You,

Bryan

Usually an allergy does not wait a full day to take hold. I have had many allergies, one of them to alcohol. It never resulted in a fever and chills. What it did was give me an asthma attack - and very quickly. Maybe she is just plain sick.

Nope, not really an addiction to Vodka... she prefers rum actually, lol... but its just she says an allergy to it. I think the fact that they were in the form of Jello Shooters that she was a little luckier that way and it wasn't STRAIGHT vodka going into her system that she wasn't hospitalized form it.

Thanks for the post, will await further posts as well.
