Definition
A severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs rapidly and affects multiple organ systems, potentially causing cardiovascular collapse and death if not treated immediately with epinephrine.
Etymology
From Greek 'ana' meaning 'against' and 'phylaxis' meaning 'protection.' Ironically, the word means 'against protection,' coined in 1902 when researchers discovered that repeated exposure to certain substances caused harm rather than immunity.
Kelly Says
Anaphylaxis is the immune system's nuclear option - instead of a measured response, it launches everything at once and ends up nearly destroying the body it's trying to protect! The name literally means 'opposite of protection,' which perfectly captures this paradoxical overreaction.
