Between 1.6% and 5.1% of people in the US have experienced at least one episode of anaphylaxis. The most common triggers are certain foods, certain medications and insect stings. Many people with food allergies also have allergies. Since respiratory symptoms are common in both conditions, it can be challenging to know whether someone is experiencing a severe allergic reaction or an asthma flare because they have similar symptoms. Asthma, food allergy and a high risk of anaphylaxis can occur together, and asthma can increase the risk of fatal anaphylaxis. In this webinar, Dr. Alice Hoyt how to plan for emergencies with both asthma and anaphylaxis.
