Allergic Reactions
Allergic reactions can be very serious or even fatal and it can occur almost instantly leaving little reaction time. Allergic reactions occur when a persons who are sensitive to an allergen experience uncomfortable symptoms.
Common allergens that trigger symptoms are dogs, cats, bee stings, dust, dust mites, trees, weeds, molds, and foods, such as nuts, strawberries, and shellfish, which usually start to occur within seconds of exposure and can cause mild to moderate reactions such as, skin rashes, hives, itching, sneezing, or watery eyes.
More moderate to severe allergic reactions include difficulty breathing, swelling of tongue, wheezing, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, chest pain or tightness, and unconsciousness.
Acute anaphylactic allergic reactions happen suddenly and progress rapidly; treatment must be administered within fifteen minutes or death could occur from anaphylactic shock.
Most allergic reactions occur quickly but some may take up to a few hours, and do not usually occur after twenty-four hours from exposure.
Allergic reactions tend to be more severe when exposure to allergen is repeated on different occasions, and each time it requires smaller and smaller amounts of the allergen to cause symptoms.
