Symptoms Of Anaphylactic Reaction
Dr. Francisco Pernas, Otolaryngologist with Baptist Health South Florida, explains a person with anaphylaxis looks with puffy eyes, swollen face and a lot of redness. He says there is also a lot of swelling in the nasal cavity, and a lot of mucous production.
"We have these immune cells that are releasing histamine, which was designed originally to protect us against insects and other infections. But now we don't have those things around, so histamine is now released by our bodies inadvertently when we have these reactions to antigens."
