In Australia, hospital admission rates for food-induced anaphylaxis increased by an average of 13.2% from 1994-2005. [95] One possible explanation for the rise in food allergy is the "old friends" hypothesis, which suggests that non-disease-causing organisms, such as helminths , could protect against allergy.
Anaphylatoxins are able to trigger degranulation (release of substances) of endothelial cells, mast cells or phagocytes, which produce a local inflammatory response.If the degranulation is widespread, it can cause a shock-like syndrome similar to that of an allergic reaction.
[26] [27] [28] Depending on the severity, anaphylaxis can include skin reactions, bronchoconstriction, swelling, low blood pressure, coma, and death. This type of reaction can be triggered suddenly, or the onset can be delayed. The nature of anaphylaxis is such that the reaction can seem to be subsiding but may recur throughout a period of time ...
When anaphylaxis is suspected, epinephrine solution should be given as soon as possible as an intramuscular injection, in the middle of the outer side of the thigh, which corresponds to the location of the vastus lateralis muscle. [3] The injection may be repeated every 5 to 15 minutes if there is insufficient response. [4]
