Anaphylaxis Notes:
Anaphylaxis is a hypersensitivity reaction that can be serious allergic reaction and lethal at times. Some sensitized humans are exposed to particular allergens. Mostly, the anaphylactic reactions are caused due to medications, foods, latex and insect stings. When a person is allergic to any substance, his or her immune system reacts vigorously to that substance or allergen and chemicals are released which cause allergy related symptoms.
