By Donna Koehn of The Tampa Tribune

Published: October 28, 2007

A life-threatening anaphylactic reaction can include:

• A tingling sensation, itching or a metallic taste in the mouth

• Hives

• Swelling of the mouth and throat area

• Wheezing, coughing or other difficulty breathing

• A drop in blood pressure

• A sensation of warmth

• Vomiting and diarrhea

• Loss of consciousness

In biphasic reactions, the symptoms go away, only to return with increased severity two to three hours later. This occurs in about 20 percent of anaphylactic reactions.
