Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction. It may occur with a food, drug or insect sting. Even a trace amount of a food can cause a severe allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction occurring over many parts of the body and can lead to death. Anaphylaxis can occur minutes after taking a food, or may occur 2 - 4 hours later. Anaphylaxis and death may occur even when the initial reaction seems deceptively mild. Death can also occur immediately or be delayed for several hours. How an allergic reaction begins does not necessarily tell you that anaphylaxis will or will not occur.

Features of anaphylaxis are:

* Swelling of the upper airway causing trouble breathing, croup like symptoms & suffocation
* Swelling of the lips and tongue with trouble swallowing and breathing
* Runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy watery eyes
* Skin eruptions such as hives or redness. Itching anywhere
* Constriction of the lower airways with wheezing, asthma and cough
* Dizziness, and feeling like dying. Low blood pressure, shock
* Nausea, cramps, diarrhea and vomiting

If you do away with the milk, the eggs, real cheese, coca butter, then what are you left with, anything real; no, and the taste is not what it once was either which makes little sense!
