anaphylaxis awareness

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.

• Foods such as peanuts, nuts, fish and shellfish,
• Certain medications, including antibiotics, aspirin and other over-the-counter pain relievers, and the intravenous (IV) contrast used in some imaging tests,
• Stings from bees, yellow jackets, wasps, hornets and fire ants, and
• Latex.

It is essential for those who look after others, including health and social care workers, first aiders and health and social care workers to be able to identify and treat anaphylaxis promptly and effectively.
