Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. Canadian epidemiological data indicate that the rate of children who visited emergency departments between 2006-2014 for anaphylaxis more than doubled. Although fatalities are rare, anaphylaxis must always be considered a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.

An anaphylactic reaction, or anaphylaxis, is a severe allergic reaction. Symptoms can start very quickly and it could be life-threatening. 
 
Anaphylaxis is caused by an allergen that triggers an immune response in the body. This is your body’s way of trying to protect itself. Common allergens include food, some insects (like bees or wasps), and medications.
