The greatest success with prevention of anaphylaxis has been the use of allergy injections to prevent recurrence of sting allergy. The risk to an individual from a particular species of insect depends on complex interactions between likelihood of human contact, insect aggression, efficiency of the venom delivery apparatus, and venom allergenicity. According to most authorities, venom immunotherapy has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of systemic reactions below 1% to 3%. One simple method of venom extraction has been electrical stimulation to obtain [[venom]], instead of dissecting the venom sac. An allergist will then provide venom immunotherapy which is highly efficacious in preventing future episodes of anaphylaxis.
Prevention of [[anaphylaxis]] is by the patient becoming aware of their triggers and avoiding it. It is also important to manage [[Comorbidity|comorbid]] conditions such as [[asthma]], [[cardiovascular disease]], and [[mastocytosis]] which increase the severity of [[anaphylaxis]].

Overview

Prevention is very important in anaphylaxis to protect patients against repeated episodes. Patients should see an allergist to identify their allergens so they can avoid being triggered by them. [1]

Primary Prevention

Prevention of anaphylaxis is by the patient becoming aware of their triggers and avoiding it. It is also important to manage comorbid conditions such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, and mastocytosis which increase the severity of anaphylaxis. Patients should be aware that taking beta blockers can block the response to administration of epinephrine. Compliance among patience to carry an epinephrine auto injection should be encouraged. [2] In the case of children, food is the most common culprit. Therefore, mothers should be careful in introducing new foods to their children. [3] In case of an active episode, patients and healthcare providers should prioritize removing the patient from the potential allergen immediately. Once the episode has resolved patients should be referred to an allergist to identify possible causes to avoid them in the future. [4] [5]
