	What is Anaphylactic Shock?
		Anaphylactic shock is a particularly severe form of allergic reaction, which may be fatal if not rapidly and properly cared for.
		The symptoms of anaphylactic shock are varied, but may often include such things as a constriction of the airway, light-headedness and fainting, swelling of the neck and face, itching and low blood pressure.
		Some of the most severe cases of anaphylactic shock come from allergens which are very common in the modern environment, such as peanuts and soybeans.

		Anaphylactic shock, the most serious of allergic reactions, is a life-threatening medical emergency because of rapid constriction of the airway, often within minutes of onset.
		Anaphylactic shock requires immediate advanced medical care; but other first aid measures include rescue breathing (part of CPR) and administration of epinephrine (adrenaline).
		Anaphylactic sensitivity can be transferred to a normal (non-sensitive) recipient by means of serum containing such antibodies.

		Anaphylactic shock - Caused by a severe anaphylactic reaction to an allergen, antigen, drug or foreign protein causing the release of histamine which causes widespread vasodilation, leading to hypotension and increased capillary permeability.
		In neurogenic shock because of vasodilation in the legs, one of the most suggested treatments is placing the patient in the Trendelenburg position, thereby elevating the legs and shunting blood back from the periphery to the body's core.

	Shock
		Shock is a failure of the circulatory system and is a life-threatening medical emergency.
		Shock can be caused by problems with the heart itself (cardiogenic shock), conditions that block blood flow to or from the heart (extracardiac obstructive shock), severe loss of fluids (hypovolemic shock), or abnormal flow of fluids into the tissues, despite normal or increased heart function (distributive shock).
		Depending on the cause of shock, surgery may be required to repair heart valves or rupture of a ventricle, artificially augment blood flow from the heart, or remove an embolism.

		An actual food allergy, as opposed to simple intolerance due to the lack of digesting enzymes, is indicated by the production of antibodies to the food allergen, and by the release of histamines and other chemicals into the blood.
		Severe reactions can lead to anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening series of symptoms including swelling of the throat and difficulty breathing.
