Define anaphylactic shock?

AnswerAnaphylactic reactions are general, dramatic reactions that can result in collapse and possibly death. It is caused by a sudden release of histamines and other chemicals that overwhelm the body. The onset is usually quite rapid and symptoms occur within minutes. Death can potentially occur immediately or within two hours. The first sign may be tightness of throat, swelling and redness of the skin or may be a non-visible internal reaction such as swelling of the airway, a drop in blood pressure, shock, or nausea. The allergic person may also have a feeling of great anxiety.Immediate action is needed. Persons who know they are prone to these reactions (allergies to peanuts, shellfish, and insect stings can be of this type), should consult with their doctor about a small emergency kit to carry with them. This kit will usually have antihistamines and Epinephrine [The most common Epinephrine is the UK Epipen]. For this type of reaction, call for medical help [ambulance] immediately. Minutes are vital.Standard treatments used to control the reaction are epinephrine, oxygen, and intravenous fluids. Antihistamines and corticosteroids can also be used. The person needs to be under medical supervision until the reaction is under control.In other words, when you have an anaphylactic reaction(as a sufferer of one as well) it is when several reactions happens such as hives, wheezing rashes and suffercation. The person having the anaphylactic reaction will be in great pain but should be carrying an Eppipen which is a spring loaded shot of adrenaline.

Why is it that during emergencies like earthquake or fire there is an increase production of adrenaline?

In a state of emergency, your body automatically releases adrenalin from your adrenal glands, which act like a "fight or flight" reaction giving you a quick boost in energy and movement. Like in an earthquake, you are usually startled and move because natural instincts tell you to move or run. Adrenaline is a rush, without the rush, you probably would just stand there, and take longer to think. This way with a release of adrenaline, your body doesn't need time to think, it just does. Hope that helped.:)
