CK if he dies from the capsicum spray is it because they used so much? Or cos he had some reaction to it
I've been dying for Leesee to come in here, because she's a wealth of knowledge on medical sh*t.
I'm only aware of anaphylactic shock (anaphylaxis) because of my kids pre-school. There's three kids there out of about 50 who have varying allergies that require adjustments to how the centre operates. My kids (two of 'em) don't have allergies to anything I'm aware of yet, so we learnt more out of interest than necessity. Simple things like oils and vegetables can be killers.
I kind of grown to admire single-mums, escpecially the ones who juggle daily routines by themselves with multiple kids, and STILL have the added worry of things like this. So the last thing we want is to be responsible for anything unknowingly that may add to their kids dramas.
I recall that one girl has a peanut allergy (very common I hear), and can't be anywhere near it or with kids who've had contact with it. Anything from sticky fingers, to residue on surfaces isn't allowed as it could trigger an anaphylactic shock. So we make sure NO peanut butters on toasts before school - Wekends is fine.
If it occurs, the airways swell, develop mucus become blocked and if you're unfortunate enough to have asthma too ... well things will get grim very very fast. The centre our kids go to, keeps a "pen" of some kind in the medical stuff for such an event. It's a measured dose of some medication (Insulin/Adrenalin ... one of them I think) that counteracts the reaction.
So using that logic, and knowing Capsicum sprays are full of ... well "Capsicums" ... I'm guessing he had some "adverse reaction" to the spray.
