What is Anaphylaxis?
Anaphylaxis is a potentially life threatening reaction to one or more of many ‘triggers’, such as:
Everyday foods:
- Nuts, including peanuts.
- Fish and shellfish.
- Mink and eggs.
- Certain fruit.
Medicines:
- NSAIDs (including aspiring).
- Antibiotics.
- General anaesthetic.

Anaphylaxis can also be caused by an indeterminable trigger, which we call idiopathic anaphylaxis.
