[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30 people, PP. Well, 37 suspected, but on investigation, 27.

You are talking about 27 people in over 40 years. It is tracked because it is so rare, and because it is a component of medications.

My point is that you re talking about 27 people. I am sure you are one of them. :rolleyes:[/quote]

Then no one should have died of anaphylaxis because they are tracked and should have been warned, correct?[/quote]

I can't tell if I am misreading you, or if you think everyone knows what they are allergic to since birth, or since they turned 20, or what have you. Help me out.

It's an incredibly rare allergy. It's a component of some contrast dyes and other things widely used in medicine.

- Some anaphylactic reactions have to have been missed -- that's just because nothing in medicine (or life) is perfect. STILL incredibly rare.

- Some people would surely develop reactions de novo (or at least, after some prior exposure to which they did not significantly react). STILL incredibly rare.

My point is that people on this board are worried about this, and bring it up, and discuss it as if the numbers are significant. Fair enough, but they think the numbers of child deaths, of infant deaths, of completely healthy young people in their 20s and 30s without underlying conditions are somehow so insignificant that they don't factor into the equation.

That is, and there is no way to put this bluntly, so completely assbackwards that it makes no logical sense at all.[/quote]
