Question

Subcutaneous injections that aim to prevent onset of this condition are administered during SCIT (“skit”) treatments. Scombroid poisoning is a differential diagnosis for this condition that occurs following exposure to fish. (10[1])Du Toit et al. found that one form of this condition (10[1])became markedly less likely to develop following exposure to Israeli Bamba. (10[2])The RAST (10[1])(“rast”) assay (10[1])checks (10[1])for the presence of this condition, which is often treated with either cetirizine (“suh-TEER-uh-zeen”) or loratadine (10[6])(“lor-AT-uh-deen”). In the absence (10[1]-5[1])of pathogens, (10[1])this condition (10[2])can be identified by detecting elevated levels of IgE (10[1])in the bloodstream. (10[1])Patch and scratch (10[1])skin tests (10[1])for (10[1])this (10[1])condition (10[2])run the risk (10[1])of triggering anaphylaxis. (10[5])For 10 points, (10[1])name this condition in which the immune system becomes hypersensitive (10[2])to harmless (10[1])triggers like shellfish, (10[1])peanuts, or pollen. ■END■

ANSWER: allergy [or allergies; or word forms such as allergic reaction; accept type I hypersensitivity reaction; accept hives; accept anaphylaxis until read; accept specific allergies such as peanut allergy]
