Anaphylaxis

An Israeli study that examined skin exposure to allergens in children with food allergies found that the contact did not cause any severe reaction. However, it did not include children who had previously experienced a severe allergic reaction, so the need for environmental consideration and the removal of allergens from public spaces remains in effect.

A 22-year-old man from Kfar Zeitim suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction after exposure to fish. Thanks to the rapid response of United Hatzalah medics and the use of an EpiPen, his life was saved.
