Can hayfever / pollen cause anaphylaxis?

Not usually: Not usually but if the exposure is intense enough it is possible. Perhaps an allergist in healthtap can chime in with more information?

Anything is possible: It all depends on what you mean. Anaphylaxis, as defined by the involvement of more than one organ system, could surely cause anaphylaxis by causing asthmatic and urticarial/angioedema reactions. In terms of causing hypotension, i would assume that it is possible, but is rarely seen.
