Anaphylaxis is the most dangerous form of allergic reaction. Without immediate treatment, the throat swells enough to close off the airway, causing suffocation, while blood pressure falls until the person goes into shock. In most likely cases food such as tree nuts, shellfish, peanuts, crabs and shrimp can lead to Anaphylaxis. Other people reported that this medical condition can result from soybeans, milk, rice, barley, corn, spinach, bananas, tomatoes and others. Individuals with asthma have the greatest risk to Anaphylaxis. This disease can also result from Aspirin and some other medications, especially penicillin. Sometimes, an individual goes into anaphylaxis shock while running (exercise-induced anaphylaxis). These kinds of attacks are prompted by foods that prove allergenic only when combined with exercise. When primed by these foods, the blood vessels natural response to physical activity triggers most cells into releasing their potent inflammatory chemicals. Any person who has ever experienced anaphylaxis should always carry a preloaded syringe of adrenaline. Popular brands include the Ana-kit and EpiPen. People should also wear a special bracelet that describes the problem and provide a doctor’s name and phone number. If you experience an anaphylaxis attack you need to immediately go to the nearest emergency center to get help.
