IgE and non-IgE-mediated pathways in anaphylaxis - PubMed
Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur through both IgE- and non-IgE-mediated pathways. The classic IgE-mediated pathway involves allergen-specific IgE binding to FcεRI on mast cells and basophils, triggering degranulation and the release of inflammato …

Why was it so hard to figure out the cause of death was anaphylactic shock?

Screenshot of a YouTube post by the New York Times posted 2 days ago. Text reads: "Brian Waitzel, a 47-year-old JetBlue pilot, went to a barbecue, where he ate a hamburger, at roughly 3 p.m. He returned to his New Jersey home and mowed the lawn for an hour. By 7:20, he was in the bathroom, vomiting. By 7:37, he was unconscious. Soon, his son was trying to resuscitate him. Waitzel was declared dead later that night. The conclusion of an autopsy: “Sudden unexplained death.” Now, more than a year after Waitzel died, a team of doctors say they have found an answer. The physicians linked his death to a growing menace: an allergy to red meat triggered by a tick bite. Read more: https://nyti.ms/4oXFvmR". The text is followed by a photo of Waitzel in the cockpit of a jet, wearing his pitot uniform and smiling.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
