Frequently Asked Questions

What is anaphylaxis?
Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to an allergen, such as peanuts, bee stings, medications or latex. It causes the immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can cause the body to go into shock
Anaphylaxis occurs when the immune system reacts excessively to otherwise harmless substances. Common triggers include food allergies (e.g., peanuts, shellfish), insect stings (especially from wasps and bees), medications (like antibiotics), and latex exposure. In some cases, exercise combined with certain foods or idiopathic factors can also cause anaphylaxis. Identifying and avoiding triggers are crucial in managing this severe allergic reaction, which can rapidly escalate and require immediate medical intervention, including the use of epinephrine to counteract symptoms and prevent potentially life-threatening complications.
The management of anaphylaxis centres on swift action and addressing life-threatening symptoms. Key principles include early recognition and calling emergency services, ensuring clear airways and effective breathing (ABC management), promptly administering epinephrine to counteract the reaction, ongoing monitoring and support for vital signs, identifying and avoiding allergens, and post-anaphylaxis care in a medical setting to prevent relapse. These steps are crucial for stabilising the individual and preventing severe outcomes associated with allergic reactions.
