Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC handle cases involving anaphylaxis from food allergies. (rosenfeldinjurylawyers.com)

Symptoms
Some people with peanut allergy report that they experience symptoms when peanut snacks are handed around to passengers with their drinks during air travel. (anaphylaxis.org.uk)
Major or minor anaphylactic symptoms can occur within just a few minutes or up to two hours or more after initial contact with any allergy-causing ingredient. (rosenfeldinjurylawyers.com)
The specialist will evaluate your symptoms and ask questions related to your exposure and reactions to different allergy-causing substances. (canada.com)
The symptoms of food allergy depend on the severity of the allergy, the amount of allergen eaten, whether the food is solid or liquid (liquid is absorbed faster), whether it is eaten on its own or with other foods and whether the food is cooked or raw. (asehaqld.org.au)
Anaphylaxis symptoms may be mild and require little to no treatment, or they can be life threatening. (asehaqld.org.au)
Some contain allergens and can produce clinical symptoms of allergy. (asehaqld.org.au)
The key to managing allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, is the recognition of the signs and symptoms and prompt initiation of treatment. (aappublications.org)
In endemic areas, up to 3% of the human population has developed an allergy to the venom and about half of these allergic people can suffer from anaphylactic reactions (increased heart rate, falling blood pressure, and other symptoms), which can lead to death on rare occasions. (wikipedia.org)
As most pollens are produced at fixed periods in the year, a long-term hay fever sufferer may also be able to anticipate when the symptoms are most likely to begin and end, although this may be complicated by an allergy to dust particles. (wikipedia.org)
When airborne peanut protein exposure and reactions of children with known peanut allergies were explored, no allergic symptoms or anaphylaxis were observed when peanut allergic children were not aware of the airborne exposure. (wikipedia.org)

immunology
A study presented to the 2012 annual meeting of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology found that peanut protein does not easily become airborne and therefore significant exposure to peanut protein via inhalation is unlikely (Makinson et al, 2012). (anaphylaxis.org.uk)
The goal of our world class immunology and allergy experts is to prevent and ultimately cure food allergy in 10 years. (sickkidsfoundation.com)

fatal allergic
Along with insect stings and patient administered medications, food allergy is the most common cause of fatal allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). (asehaqld.org.au)
More than 12 million Americans have food allergies, which are the leading cause of anaphylaxis (a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction) outside the hospital setting and result in more than 30,000 emergency room visits each year. (bio-medicine.org)

Emergency Plan

stings
Between 1980 and 2000, there were four deaths due to anaphylaxis from jack jumper stings, all of them in Tasmania. (wikipedia.org)

2000
While succinylcholine, a nonsteroidal NMBA, was the most common NMBA to cause anaphylaxis 10 years ago, more recent studies indicate that Rocuronium, a steroidal NBMA, is equal to succinylcholine as NMBAs causing anaphylaxis, about 1: 2000 to 1: 2500 exposures (3). (worldallergy.org)

medication
Epinephrine (adrenaline) is the medication that is most commonly used to treat anaphylaxis. (canada.com)

treatment
The only treatment for food allergy is avoidance. (asehaqld.org.au)
In at least five female case reports of Rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis treated with Sugammedex, a benefit was described, but the effects of other treatments administered concurrently for the treatment of anaphylaxis may have been the main contributor to the noted improvement (5). (worldallergy.org)
It has been postulated that Sugammedex could add benefit during anaphylaxis treatment by relaxing of the neuromuscular blockade of the NMBA with a subsequent positive effect on cardiac preload and afterload (5). (worldallergy.org)
A retrospective analysis of 13 case reports concluded that Sugammedex does not modify the course of an anaphylactic reaction and the authors warned against adding this drug to the anaphylaxis treatment algorithm (9). (worldallergy.org)

Adverse effects can include hypersensitivity reactions including urticaria, fever, joint pains, rashes, angioedema, anaphylaxis, serum sickness-like reaction. (wikipedia.org)

systemic
According to Finkelman, there are two pathways of systemic anaphylaxis: antigens can cause systemic anaphylaxis in mice through classic pathway by cross-linking IgE bound to the mast cell receptor FcεRI, stimulating the release of both histamine and platelet activating factor (PAF). (wikipedia.org)
Consequently, IgG antibodies block systemic anaphylaxis induced by small quantities of antigen but can mediate systemic anaphylaxis induced by larger quantities. (wikipedia.org)
