Anaphylaxis will affect children, adolescents and adults. Now, it's quite common to find that children have allergic reactions. In schools, this is a major problem because you need to be able to manage what child has an allergic reaction to make sure that they can avoid anything that's going to set that reaction off. It affects adults as well. They may well have had an allergic reaction since they were a child, but it may well be it's not until they're maybe 25, 30, 40 that they suddenly find that they are allergic to something. Maybe that's the first time they have been stung by a wasp. We're now going to look at who is affected and also what causes an anaphylactic reaction. As far as who is affected, it can be children, adolescents or adults. Now, with the children, it may be the first time they have a reaction from when they were very young, or maybe when they then go to school or into another school where they're introduced to different sorts of foodstuffs. It may be the first time they've been stung by a certain insect. The same could apply to adolescents. With adults, it may be that they've had the allergic reaction from childhood or maybe just now is the first time they've actually been stung by a wasp or a bee, or now they've just had a different type of foodstuff. There may be changes in their body that have caused this allergic reaction to happen. So it might be when you're dealing with someone with anaphylaxis that the problem has been there for life or they've maybe just started at the age of 20, 30, or 40. The causes of an anaphylactic reaction are also called the triggers, the things that actually trigger the allergic reaction to start. These triggers could be any substance. Common allergens could include, on the food side, things like peanuts, nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, and Brazil nuts. Fish, also shellfish, milk, dairy products and also eggs. Other causes can be things like bee stings or wasp stings. Also certain medications. Sometimes antibiotics can cause allergic reactions, as can aspirin or ibuprofen. Another product that can cause allergic reactions is latex. Latex used to be used quite widely, but it has been reduced a lot over the years. Even things like gloves that used in the hospitals are usually latex free. It's very important that you know what your allergens are. It's very important you make sure that your family and your friends know what you're allergic to. Only a very, very small amount of the substance can cause an allergic reaction. It's an amount that's so small that you can't even see it. It just has to contain that allergen within the food.
Common Allergens: Identifying Potential Triggers
Understanding Allergens
Introduction:
We've previously explored allergens and their diverse nature.
Wide-Ranging Allergic Reactions:
Allergic individuals might react to multiple allergens, not limited to a single substance.
Common Allergens
Overview:
Here are some of the most prevalent allergens:
- Insect Venom: Bites and stings from bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets
- Foods: Nuts, shellfish, crustaceans, peanuts, milk, eggs, and chocolate
- Plants: Contact with poison ivy, poison oak, and exposure to pollen from ragweed and grasses
- Medications: Including penicillin, other antibiotics, aspirin, seizure medications, muscle relaxants, and over-the-counter remedies
- Other Substances: Dust, latex, glue, soaps, and make-up
Understanding these common allergens is crucial in managing and preventing allergic reactions.
