A member asked:
How many times would you have to eat of something to develop anaphylaxis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least 1 exposure: The exact number is not known. Some children develop anaphylaxis seemingly on the first exposure of eating something. In these cases, the child was likely exposed via skin contact or absorption of the antigen. On the other hand, adults who have eaten a specific food for many years without symptoms, can develop a food reaction!
