Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel has revealed how a piece of fish nearly cost her her life.

The 48-year-old reality star took to Twitter on Monday to share details of the scary near-fatal experience which saw her become unconscious for 15 minutes.

“I have rare fish allergy,” Frankel explained. “Sun,I had soup,itched & was unconscious for 15 mins then to ER & ICU for 2 days w BP of 60/40. I couldn’t talk, see, thought I had a stroke & dying & told if 5 mins later I’d be dead. 911 & EPI saved me. I’ll never not carry an #epipen @newtonwellesley xo.”

Frankel then responded to Twitter users, telling one she would take up the suggestion of wearing a medical ID bracelet.

She also retweeted a user who praised the medical facility where Frankel was treated.

“Of course my next project is to get them new mattresses from @Casper bc they have no budget for TVs or comfortable beds :( for really sick people,” Frankel wrote.

Frankel then declared that she was making it “a mission of mine” to donate EpiPens to schools and organizations.

I am all over this. I’ve heard about it and this will be a mission of mine. https://t.co/vWLQIvlNAT

The ordeal comes just months after Frankel lost her on-off boyfriend, Dennis Shields, after he was found unconscious in his Trump Tower apartment.

She opened up about her grief on Instagram in September, responding to a fan who observed her weight loss.

"Death will do that to a person #griefdiet," Frankel replied. "I don't recommend it."

Wishing Frankel a swift recovery!
