pI found this link which shows a few photos of allergic reactions:/p

pI've seen much more severe hives, but these are at least basic educational resources./p

Good idea!
Not that we ever *want* to have an occasion to capture such photos, but if it happens, it's a powerful way to keep the person safe. I agree that it's worth a thousand words.
I'm going to delete the link above. Thanks for pointing this out. It's just an image of a nude patient with hives, which isn't, IMO, *very* graphic, but I don't wish to cause offense to anyone who is shocked by the naked body (it hadn't even occurred to me, actually, as it was so un-sexual and part of a medical site), so just to be on the safe side. . .

These pictures could definitely be useful to educate caregivers and teachers. I have been wondering if pictures of reactions (especially anaphylactic) might help convince companies how important proper labelling is.
I know, the bottom line for them is sometimes just money, but somewhere in these companies are real people. If *real people* saw what damage their product could do to someone maybe it would make a difference.

Never saw the pic. But, I am pretty sure I wouldn't have found it offensive. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img]
I have seen soooooooooooooooooooooo many naked bodies in my profession I don't think of it as "naked". Or "graphic" even. I just think of it as human. I do, however, afford the patient opportunity for modesty, even if the patient is confused or sedated. I just think of that as human also.

This is from a reaction from Aidan's dust mite shot. I measured it & it was 2 1/2 inches across & 2 inches down. This was Jan. 4th of this year. It took several round the clock benedryl for a few days & steroid cream to clear it up.

The scary thing is this is what he looked like at 13 months old from head to toe from his first reaction from a tiny bite of peanut butter cookie. Hope this helps give a "picture" of our situation.
Take care,
