Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe. Mild symptoms might include itchy eyes, sneezing, and a runny nose. Severe symptoms can cause difficulty breathing, which may be life threatening. Keep in mind that it is the immune system and not the allergen that causes the allergy symptoms. Allergy symptoms can be treated with medications such as antihistamines. Severe allergic reactions may require an injection of the hormone epinephrine. These treatments lessen or counter the immune system’s response.
Beth and Ann's class was going on a picnic. The teacher had made sure all the other children new not to bring anything that had nut in it because If Beth even touch nuts she would start to swell and her throat would close so that she could not breath.    But at least she could play outside and run through the grass with out sneezing and coughing like her friend Ann.
Who probably uses epinephrine?
