What substances are most likely to cause a severe reaction?

There are many possible Allergens, but these are the most common:

Peanuts, tree Nuts (such as walNuts and Cashews), Shellfish (like Shrimp and Lobster), Fish, Milk, and Eggs are the most common Culprits, although any food can cause a severe Allergic reaction. (A great deal of research is being done on whether delaying the introduction of potentially Allergenic foods will delay the onset of allergies in Allergy-prone children. If Food allergies run in your family, your child may be more susceptible.)

• Drugs in the penicillin family (including the popular antibiotic amoxicillin)

• Insect bites and stings (especially from Bumblebees, Honeybees, Yellow jackets, Hornets, Wasps, Fire ants, and Harvester ants)

Latex (often used in Healthcare facilities)

• Food preservatives and colorings (like FDC yellow No. 5)
