have been having episodes that I think are anaphylactic
shock. It is always the same. First my hands start itching then the top of my head and it works its way down my whole body. I have rashes and welts and red patches all of which itch horribly. This last about 15 minutes. Then I start throwing up then diarrhea this stage last about 30 minutes. Then I get really hot followed by being horribly cold and that when the cramps starts. I begin to have difficulty breathing and my lips and tongue start to swell. I can stand up during any of this or I black out."

Are sharks the most dangerous animals in the world?
Depends on the species. The two biggest, the basking shark and the whale shark, are filter feeders and can't hurt humans unless they ram or swipe at you. Many are too small to be a realistic threat. Sharks will eat a dead animal, and kill if necessary. But shark attacks to humans are quite rare. If you are swimming where sharks are, the shark might mistake you for a seal, a dolphin or some other animal. In fact, it is extremely rare for a shark to attack a human knowing what their victim is. Sharks can smell blood from miles away, and are easily attracted to it.

What are the symptoms of bites and stings on pets?
Depending on what has stung/bitten your pet; the most common symptom is swelling of the area. I have a dog that is allergic to bee and wasp stings, she has had her whole muzzle swell up and vomited after being stung. The vet treated her with injectable Benadryl and a steroid; she was fine after a couple hours. Poisonous snakes can also cause swelling, to be safe take your pet to the veterinarian if you're not sure! If that is not an option search online for a proper dosage of Benadryl oral solution (available at most stores), but that will not work for snake bites! (Most cities have an emergency vet)
