What I found most interesting about this animation is how it illustrates the way in which the body reacts to any foreign substance, but in this case, the allergic reaction is exaggerated. In the animation, it shows a person being stung by a bee, resulting in acute anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock. Some of the symptoms of anaphylactic shock can include hives, flushing, swelling of face, itchy, watery eyes, runny nose and rapid breathing. The animation did a great job of showing how exposure to an allergen causes an increase in heart rate, vasodilation and causes a drop in blood pressure. It also showed how swelling of the tissue lining the respiratory system can obstruct the airway, making it difficult to breathe, which can ultimately lead to respiratory failure.

Wow, i really liked your animation, it is very interesting like you said. It was interesting because once my cousin got stung by a bee, but i dont think he was allergic to it, it would be sad if he was, he would of got through a lot of pain. Its so fascinating to actually see what it really does to you. I really liked it, and i think you picked a great animation.
