Triggers, Prozac
[edit]The comments that I added (cold weather, typing, Prozac) are based on my own experience, so I have no other references for them. Monado (talk) 01:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Anaphylactic shock should be left to direct to the term "Anaphylaxis". It is not necessary to continue to change the word "shock" in anaphylactic shock to direct to a nonexistent page when the term "anaphylactic shock" is considered one term and not two separate words - it is a term used to describe anaphylaxis.

Allergy to what?
[edit]I'm not sure if I understand, is the allergy to cold itself or does cold just trigger the reaction? 67.171.221.28 (talk) 00:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
For what was explained to me, there are two types. The genetic form is not a true allergy, but an autoimmune response that behaves similarly to an allergy, and allergy medications work less well for this type, but are still used in treatment for some. Others have a true allergy to the cold. (I have the inherited form. Also, the reactions are varied and the main page does not fully cover the extent of how it affects people. Additionally, it can be triggered by a much smaller change in temperature (2 degrees F), as long as it is a sudden change). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.141.117.9 (talk) 01:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Anaphylactic risk
[edit]I am a bit concerned this article does not mention anaphylactic risk. The patient information leaflets say this is a significant risk and parents should carry epipens etc but it is not mentioned at all in this article. Peer reviewed papers also seems to say it is significant. I know we don't give medical advice but I think underplaying risks is unwise. BozMo talk 09:32, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- This 2018 review: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6299577/ states that there is a significant anaphylactic risk citing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27485164 where nearly 20% of patients presented with life threatening symptoms, although it is a rare condition and sample sizes are small.
