When the immune system responds to a foreign substance in an abnormal way, it is classified as an allergy. When the body first contacts the substance, it will not cause any reactions, but the immune system will start to produce antibodies to it and subsequent contact will trigger more dramatic responses.

I had an anaphylactic reaction to almonds. I usally always read the label but mistakenly assumed that since another variety of the chocolate bar was safe that the one I had was safe. It said may contain almonds. My face swelled up and my throat became tight. I used my epi pen and went to the ER. They gave me Benadryl. I was there a few hours on a chair in the hallway because there were no rooms. We have a doctor shortage. The ER doctor would check on me. She said to take Benadryl for the next 24 to 48 hours. I get anaphylaxis from tree nuts, strawberries, peppers and CT contrast dye.
