Anaphylactic Shock
Although comprehensive information is not available,
the best statistics indicate that as many as 40.9 million people in the United States suffer from severe allergies that may put them at risk for anaphylaxis
and the numbers are growing.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic response to specific triggers such as foods,
medications, insect venom, or latex. You may be at an increased risk for experiencing anaphylaxis
if you have a history of allergies or asthma, or have had an anaphylactic response previously.
