Anaphylactic shock is also known as “anaphylaxis”.
Anaphylactic shocks are very rare and can be extremely severe.
They start as a sudden allergic reaction that involves the entire body.
The allergic reaction occurs because the body’s immune system reacts inappropriately in response to the presence of a substance that is wrongly perceived as “harmful” or “threatening”.
