How long after a reaction does it take for anaphylaxis to start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minutes to hours: The most severe anaphylactic reactions tend to occur sooner and it may only by a couple of minutes. Less severe systemic allergic reactions (but still considered anaphylaxis) may occur several hours after the allergen exposure.
