How are allergic reactions actually formed?
Basically, I have a project on allergic reactions, and I know that it’s caued by antigens or allergens, but what actually causes someone to be allergic to something?
In more clarification, what makes Person A be allergic to bee stings, whereas Person B is not? Is there some certain trait or something in someone’s DNA that determines their immunities or the strength of their total immune system?
The baisic answer is your Imune system thinks that Things like dog dander or some foods are invading bodies and start to attack them. The way they would attack the strep or any other illness. Because of this people like you and me suffer alergies. Medications like Zyrtex, nasiqurt and others help to supress the imune system.

i just got stung by a bee or a wasp how long does it take to feel allergic reactions?
I've been stung before when i was really young and did'nt have any allergic reactions. I got stung about 10 minutes ago and dont feel anything unusual excpet for the fact it hurts around the area. Im not allergic to many things and i dont think i get allergic reactions from bug bites. Im curious the time frame when reactions occur.
It's almost immediate.
You are ok.
Is there a way to know about allergic reactions to ink?
Is there any way to know of an allergic reaction to ink before getting tattooed.
just a fear that when I get my chest piece that I'll oddly enough be allergic to the red, which would suck since its the only color other than black on there, and since red has the most known allergic reactions.
Well you can to the doctor and ask for an alergey test. Or have your tattoo artist do a small 'patch test' to see if you are allergic.
What type of allergic reactions make you rush to the bathroom to puke and poop runny sh** so bad?
What type of allergic reactions can make you have to rush quickly to the bathroom to do a number 2 and throw up at the same time? It’s the painful thing where you have to sit on the toilet to vomit and crap at the same time, which all the waste has to get out fast.
diarrhea and vomiting could mean there is poison in your food
Anaphylactic shock and allergic reactions due to antibiotics. How do I recover from lingering side-effects?
I have experienced sever anaphylactic shock and allergic reactions after having taken erythromycin for about a week two years ago. I have experienced irregularly beating heart, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, depression, anxiety, difficulty breathing, etc.
I still experience these symptoms and would like to recover from them.
How do I get back to "normal"? I'm sick and tired of being tired all the time.
Also, what other antibiotics should I avoid (other than erythromycin)?
Thanks for your help.
You really need to go to an allergist–now! Explain what happened and your ongoing problems. He or she will give you a list of medications to avoid and may do more allergy tests to make sure this doesn't happen again. He or she may also give you an prescription for an Epi-pen so if it does happen again, you can administer the live-saving treatment before the EMT's arrive to help.
Your breathing problems might be related to asthma or another undiagnosed problem. The allergist can also help with this.
If your anxiety goes on, consider going to a mental health professional (see below) who can help. You may be experiencing post-traumatic stress.
Some things that might help you feel less anxious:
- stop all caffeine and other stimulants
- see a therapist and talk about your experience–it was traumatic and you need to talk it through to get rid of the leftover fear and anxiousness
- talk to your family and friends about how you're feeling
- avoid eating chicken or meats that were raised using antibiotics (traces can remain in the meat and cause less severe reactions)
Good luck to you!
Are women more likely to have allergic reactions to medications than men? Does Lupus play a role?
I am continually developing allergic reactions to medications and it is really getting bad. Tonight, I took aspirin and broke out in hives and my eyes swelled together. That leaves only Tylenol for me to take when I have pain. What happens when I develop an allergy to it? I have yo-yo ANA, speckled. C-3 and C-4 is yo-yo as well, so I have not been diagnosed with Lupus.
I haven't seen any studies that has shown that women are more likely to be allergic to medications but it makes sense because of the fact that women's bodies don't process the medicines the same way a man's body does. They are trying to do more research in to gender specific medical treatment to make it easier to treat women.
I have met a number of people (a lot of them women) that are allergic to dyes in the medications.
Yes, it is possible that for some if Lupus is an issue it could make it harder to take medications. This would be an interesting question for a rheumatologist as well.
What type of allergic reactions can people get from tattoos?
I have really bad allergies. I am allergic to latex, and most metals to be exact but every since I was small I wanted to get a tattoo. Now that I am grown I am really considering getting one but some people close to me are telling me maybe I shouldnt because my allergies are so bad. I just want to know can reactions to tattoos be fatal?? Please feel free to share any experiences!!
Thank You
If you are allergic to the ink of the tattoo to have it injected into your skin would be worse then you wearing latex gloves. Think more along the lines of you using a latex condom. Think of that world of pain.
The only way to safely get a tattoo is find out if you are allergic to the ink. Talk to your tattoo artist, see if you can get a list (either from the artist him/herself or from the manufacturer of the ink) of the ingredients in the ink. Do this for each and every color/shade that you will be using for your tattoo. Look over that list, if you are unsure as to whither you are allergic to any of the ingredients, make an appointment with your allergist and get an allergy test.
Also, find out what kind of metal the needle used for the tat is. If you are allergic to that kind of metal, find out if it is possible to use a different kind of needle.
And, if its all free and clear go for it. Just remember, don't move while getting your tat, and tip your artist well. Especially for going through all this work with you. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Maybe even a pic of the tat, ne?
