Did it ever occur to you that an insect bite can kill you ?!
Yes this is true. There is a particular type of allergic reaction known as Anaphylaxis. This is a severe allergic reaction that occurs very fast and this could lead to a life-threatening response involving the whole body.
This allergic reaction can be caused by any allergy, just not drug allergy. Even a bee sting could be a trigger. Sometimes we may even not know what is the trigger, but the important thing is that this reacts very fast and on the whole body and might just kill the person.
I have personally seen a baby getting this sort of allergic reaction. It affected the whole body in a matter of seconds with color changes and muscle swelling and in under two minutes the child was totally unrecognizable ! This time the reaction had occurred due to allergic drug reaction though there was no allergic reaction during the first administration of the drug. The unfortunate part was in this particular hospital, the nurses were not aware of Anaphylaxis and they had asked us to wait until next day morning since allergies are nothing to worry. Since I was aware of Anaphylaxis, I had to force them to call the doctor and the doctor took urgent measures by giving IV anti-allergic drug. Had I not known of this allergy, things could have been really bad.
This info about allergy and above mentioned symptoms are only limited info, you should visit medical sites to know the exact details.
Knowing about this deadly type of allergy could save a life in a world of "just an insect bite" attitude.
