Anaphylaxis symptoms can develop rapidly, often within minutes to hours after exposure to the trigger allergen. In some cases, symptoms can appear within seconds of exposure. The onset of symptoms can vary depending on factors such as the individual's sensitivity to the allergen, the amount of allergen exposure, and the route of exposure (such as ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact).

In severe cases, symptoms may progress rapidly, leading to a life-threatening situation within minutes. This rapid onset underscores the importance of recognizing the early signs of anaphylaxis and administering prompt treatment, typically with epinephrine, to prevent further escalation of symptoms. It's crucial for individuals with known allergies to be vigilant and prepared to respond quickly in case of an allergic reaction.
