This sensitisation process may occur over time and can involve repeated exposures to the allergen.<\/li><li><strong>Activation:<\/strong> Upon exposure to the allergen, the antibodies trigger the release of chemicals such as histamine from mast cells and basophils in the body. This release leads to the onset of allergic symptoms.<\/li><li><strong>Occurrence of Symptoms:<\/strong> This stage involves an allergic reaction, which can vary widely depending on the allergen and the individual&#8217;s immune response. <br \/><br \/>Symptoms can affect various systems, including:<\/li><\/ol><ul><li>Skin (itching, hives)<\/li><li>Respiratory system (wheezing, difficulty breathing)<\/li><li>Gastrointestinal system (nausea, vomiting)<\/li><li>Cardiovascular system (rapid heartbeat, drop in blood pressure).<br \/><br \/>5.<strong> Resolution:<\/strong> The symptoms typically disappear after removing or neutralising the allergen (e.g., by medications like antihistamines or epinephrine).<\/li><\/ul><p>The resolution stage may vary in duration, depending on the reaction&#8217;s severity and the treatment&#8217;s effectiveness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a41849 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"7a41849\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\r\n<html lang=\"en\">\r\n\r\n<head>\r\n    <meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\r\n    <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\r\n\r\n    <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/bootstrap@4.6.2\/dist\/css\/bootstrap.min.css\"\r\n        integrity=\"sha384-xOolHFLEh07PJGoPkLv1IbcEPTNtaed2xpHsD9ESMhqIYd0nLMwNLD69Npy4HI+N\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\">\r\n    <style>\r\n        .banner {\r\n            border-radius: 10px;\r\n            overflow: hidden;\r\n            border: 2px solid #ccc; \r\n            box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); \r\n            background-color: #fdf9ee;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n\r\n        .book-now {\r\n            color: white;\r\n            background-color: #DF3D52;\r\n            border: none;\r\n            padding: 15px 60px;\r\n            border-radius: 5px;\r\n            cursor: pointer;\r\n            font-size: 20px;\r\n            text-decoration: none;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        .book-now:hover {\r\n            \/*text-decoration: none;*\/\r\n            color: white;\r\n            background-color: #c33f50;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n   \r\n\r\n    <\/style>\r\n<\/head>\r\n\r\n<body>\r\n    <div class=\"banner\">\r\n            <div class=\"row p-0\">\r\n                <div class=\"col-md-7 py-4 pl-4 pr-2\">\r\n                    <h4 class=\"pl-2 font-weight-bold\">Get Trained in All First-Aid Skills<\/h4>\r\n                            <h5 class=\"pl-2 font-weight-normal mb-3\">First Aid Courses<\/h5>\r\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/hurak.com\/courses\/first-aid\" class=\"book-now ml-2 py-2 px-3\">Book Now<\/a>\r\n                            \r\n                    <!--This is new Code Start-->\r\n<div class=\"mt-2\">\r\n<p class=\"m-0\">Rated <b>Excellent<\/b><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"d-flex\">\r\n<i class=\"las la-star\" style=\"color:#00b67a; font-size:26px;\"><\/i>\r\n<i class=\"las la-star\" style=\"color:#00b67a; font-size:26px;\"><\/i>\r\n<i class=\"las la-star\" style=\"color:#00b67a; font-size:26px;\"><\/i>\r\n<i class=\"las la-star\" style=\"color:#00b67a; font-size:26px;\"><\/i>\r\n<i class=\"las la-star\" style=\"color:#00b67a; font-size:26px;\"><\/i>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p class=\"m-0\">on major review sites<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n <!--This is new Code End-->\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-100 h-100\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" src=\"https:\/\/hurak-training-uploads.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/blog-media\/66dfff8b5ee85_first-aid-training-course.webp\" alt=\"Get Trained in All First-Aid Skills\">\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <!-- TrustBox script -->\r\n    <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/widget.trustpilot.com\/bootstrap\/v5\/tp.widget.bootstrap.min.js\" async><\/script>\r\n    <!-- End TrustBox script -->\r\n\r\n    <script src=\"https:\/\/code.jquery.com\/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js\"><\/script>\r\n    <script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/@popperjs\/core@2.11.6\/dist\/umd\/popper.min.js\"><\/script>\r\n    <script src=\"https:\/\/stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com\/bootstrap\/4.5.2\/js\/bootstrap.min.js\"><\/script>\r\n<\/body>\r\n\r\n<\/html>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9284951 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9284951\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>How is Anaphylaxis Prevented<\/strong><\/h2><p>Prevention of Anaphylaxis is important for immuno-compromised people, who are vulnerable to allergens.
