Treatment
The only treatment available is the use of adrenaline, intravenously if possible, otherwise intramuscular. Avoiding the allergen is essential, and steroids can sometimes be used. Adrenaline auto-injectors are very useful for people who are aware of their allergies. They can be used immediately, at the first signs of shock, but must be followed by professional medical treatment. Once the crisis has passed, an identification of the allergen is essential and a desensitizing to the allergen in question is sometimes possible.
