contrary to popular belief anaphylaxis has actually been round for a very long time but in recent years it's become much more of a problem anaphylaxis is a serious type of allergic reaction which can occur through a whole variety of ways these include by eating or drinking for example peanuts or milk inhaling for example dust injecting such as the result of a bee sting or even by touching or coming into close contact with something the substance which causes the allergic reaction is called an allergen for example if someone ate something with eggs in and that causes an allergic reaction then the egg would be the allergen allergens are unique to each person meaning not everyone who experiences reactions is allergic to the same allergens consequently of course not everyone is allergic to something meaning not everyone will be at risk of anaphylaxis so for the majority of people if they are stung by a bee all that will happen is the local pain and the discomfort of the sting however for those that are allergic to a bee sting the problem can become much more serious the signs and symptoms can be much more complicated and it can even be fatal if not treated correctly and urgently this is going to be very stressful for the individual and they're probably going to have a lot of trouble breathing i'm sure that everyone watching this video will be familiar with food labels such as this product may contain nuts or possible allergens within food looking back not so long ago allergens did not need to be highlighted on food packaging but recent eu regulations introduced in 2011 mean it's now required due to the fact that allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are becoming more and more prevalent in today's society there are many theories into why this has become an increasing problem more than it was maybe 25 years ago now due to these eu regulations you can look at the packaging of food and better identify the allergens you might hear announcements on aeroplanes where a passenger has a severe peanut allergy therefore the consumption of nuts on the plane is being forbidden so you can see that allergies and anaphylaxis are prevalent in many different areas and as the years pass will only continue to increase in prevalence the houses we live in are also playing a part to this change houses are a lot more controlled now in terms of temperature and humidity whereas older houses would have had open cracks in the windows and generally be less clean central heating can cause problems as we now live in a much more of a controlled environment this means that at a younger age our bodies are exposed to fewer harmful substances meaning that we don't build up antibodies to resist certain things anaphylaxis has links with asthma which is also an increasing problem in this course we're going to be talking about different treatment methods that are available but in all cases where you suspect anaphylaxis you should call the ems anaphylaxis is something that comes on very very quickly and even if you can give the auto injector the person can appear to feel better very very quickly advanced medical help should still be sought in 2016 the european academy of allergy and clinical immunology stated that more than 150 million europeans suffered from chronic allergic diseases and they estimated that by 2025 half of the entire eu population will be affected in this way
Anaphylaxis: Understanding the Allergic Challenge
The Timeless Presence of Anaphylaxis
An Ongoing Issue:
Contrary to common belief, anaphylaxis has a long history, but its significance has grown in recent years.
Anaphylaxis Unveiled
A Serious Allergic Reaction:
Anaphylaxis is a severe form of allergic response, triggered by various means, including ingestion, inhalation, injection, or contact with allergenic substances.
The Role of Allergens:
An allergen is the substance responsible for the allergic reaction. Allergens are unique to individuals, and not everyone shares the same allergens.
Diverse Reactions:
While some may experience mild discomfort from a bee sting, those allergic to it face complex symptoms, sometimes leading to fatal consequences if not promptly treated.
The Challenging Breathing:
Persons facing anaphylaxis often encounter severe breathing difficulties, adding to the stress of the situation.
The Role of Food Labeling
Mandatory Allergen Disclosure:
EU regulations since 2011 have mandated clear labeling of potential allergens in food products due to the rising prevalence of allergies and anaphylaxis.
Identifying Allergenic Risks:
These regulations enable consumers to assess food packaging for potential allergens, enhancing safety for those with allergies.
Travel and Allergies:
Notably, airline announcements about nut allergies illustrate the widespread impact of allergies and anaphylaxis in various domains.
The Changing Home Environment
Controlled Living Spaces:
Modern homes maintain stable temperature and humidity levels compared to older, drafty residences.
Reduced Early Exposure:
This controlled environment limits early exposure to allergens, potentially hindering the development of natural antibodies.
Links with Asthma:
Anaphylaxis is intertwined with the escalating issue of asthma, compounding health challenges.
Seeking Medical Assistance
Prompt EMS Contact:
Anaphylaxis rapidly progresses, necessitating immediate EMS contact, even if initial relief is provided by an auto-injector.
The Soaring Prevalence
A Growing Allergy Epidemic:
In 2016, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology revealed that over 150 million Europeans grapple with chronic allergic conditions. Predictions estimate that by 2025, half of the EU population will be affected by such challenges.
