As an Allergist you know that anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to something you're allergic to, such as peanuts or bee stings. When answering this question don't leave it at just a definition, follow it up with a story of an anaphylaxis situation and how you handled it and how you treated it.
