A member asked:
Is it possible for an allergic reaction to be easily determined as cause of death in an autopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's not: The events recorded around the time of death are critical. Serum tryptase can help the pathologist spot anaphylaxis if it could have been missed. Still, like botulism, glue-sniffing and black widow spider bite, it's a possible cause of a "negative autopsy" if the body is simply discovered.
