that all allergic reactions share is that people do not have them the first time they are exposed to an allergen. This is because the body's immune system has not "learned" to recognize the allergen yet. The first time someone is exposed to an allergen, the immune system forms antibodies in response. These antibodies are the body's attempt to attack the foreign substances. A particular antibody will combine with only the allergen it was formed in response to (or another allergen very similar to
the original one). The second time the person is exposed to the allergen, the antibodies already exist in the person's body. This time, the antibody combines with the allergen, leading to the release of The dilation of blood vessels reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart, leading to decreased cardiac output and an increased risk of shock. Skin also becomes flushed as blood vessels near the surface open up. When capillaries become leaky, fluid moves into the tissue and appears as swelling, especially around the site of an injection (or sting) and the
face, including the eyes, lips, ears, tongue, and airway. If the area around the vocal cords becomes swollen, the patient may have a muffled voice or display stridor on inspiration. Urticaria, also called hives—red, itchy, possibly raised blotches on the skin— is another result of the release of histamines and related substances in response to allergens. Bronchoconstriction causes decreased movement of air in the one sided weakness, someone with right sided weakness - has a problem on the left side of the brain, drop on face, headache caused by bleeding, difficult to communicate, high blood pressure, impaired vision, nausea, seizures, unequal pupils, difficult respiration |
