Best Answer

serum is a clear yellowish fluid obtained after separating blood into into its solid and liquid components after it ha been allowed to clot. Serum contains antitoxins. The introduction of serum in the body is an attempt to build up resistance against microorganisms or their toxins before the microbes actually invade the body . the serum can easily neutralise or kill bacteria.

Can allergy shots cause serum sickness?

No. Even though the treatment solution for allergy shot is sometimes called "allergy serum", there is no serum in these solutions. Serum sickness occurs when a large dose of an animal serum protein or a large dose of some medications are given and the immune system make high doses of immune antibody against that protein. Small capillaries in the joints, kidneys, skin, etc get plugged up by the clumps formed when the antibody joins with the protein. Allergy shots use very week doses because the person is already allergic to the treatment solution. Large doses are required to develop serum sickness.
