I'm in the medical field, and I have not heard of this. Although my wife has excercise induced asthma, I'm not sure this is the same thing. Kinda sounds fishy. In TENN we call this being PURE-D-LAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually it's not lazy, it's a true medical condition, that could have caused this young man to lose his life. When you exercise your body's chemistry changes due to lactic acid and other chemicals the body produces. His body has a allergic reactions when certain chemicals reach higher levels. The one who is lazy is utchris because he forgot to turn his brain on.

From www.medicinenet.com: In the 1970's, it was noted that exercise could cause anaphylaxis. Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) usually occurs with prolonged, strenuous exercise. Conditioned athletes such as marathon runners are frequently affected. The reaction may occur while exercising shortly after eating a meal, after eating specific foods (for example, lettuce, shellfish, or celery) or after taking aspirin. It appears as though food or aspirin loads the gun and exercise pulls the trigger. Early symptoms are usually flushing and itching, which may progress to other typical symptoms of anaphylaxis if the exercise continues. Pre-medication with antihistamines or other drugs does not consistently prevent EIA. Exercise avoidance is the most effective treatment. If this is not feasible, exercising with a "buddy" and carrying emergency kits is mandatory.

When no cause can be found for anaphylaxis, it is termed idiopathic. Recent reports suggest that 25% of all episodes of anaphylaxis are idiopathic. Many of those affected have underlying allergy or asthma conditions. Extensive allergy testing for foods may uncover an unusual food allergy that is responsible for these reactions. For frequent episodes of anaphylaxis, your physician may recommend a combination of antihistamine, cortisone, and a medication to widen the airways of the lungs (bronchial dilator) to help reduce the severity of attacks.

Andefromtn, I'm a Respiratory Therapist and I know all about bronchodilators, anaphylaxis and allthat. What you are describing sounds like excercised induced asthma. Maybe I am wrong, but I have seen everything from gunshot to neck, motorcycle wrecks with poles stuck through necks, maschedies to neck, every kind of airway issue you could imagine. This is new to me but does not mean that this syndrome does not exist. This kid could be allergic to grass or anything. Sounds to me like this kid has asthma and they have yet to prove what triggers it. Plus if not controlled with corticosteroids(pulmicort, flovent, advairdiscus) and bronchodilators(albuterol, xopenex,ect.) he will never get over this, but what do I know?

RichRollin, asthma which I have had since birth does not cause itching and hives. EIA does cause those just like any other allergic reaction. In my mid 20s I would break out in hives for no reason everyday. There are many things that cause me to have allergic reactions and one day I may have a response to something I've been around all my life but suddenly I am allergic to it. Just because you haven't seen this doesn't mean it doesn't exist. All you have to do is google the phrase "allergic reaction to strenuous exercise" or "Exercise-induced anaphylaxis" and a host of information pops up.

Andefromtn got in right with his first post. There is some chemical produced in increasing amounts when he excercises that his body has a negative reaction to.

Andefromtn, why are you quoting me? If you go backto my 1st post, I clearly stated that just because I have not heard of this does not mean it does not exist. But you are talking about allergig reactions that are not asthma attacks, but it still is probably asthma related, for this kid and for you. I deal with asthmatics for a living, and every one of them have SEVERE ALLERGIES to various things. Some of these allergies cause asthma symptoms (broncho constriction) and some of them cause anaphylaxis (thraot swelling). I've have a coworker (severe asthmatic) with horrible allergies and when exposed to latex has anaphylactic responses and breaks into rashes and hives, just like you said you do. Not an asthma attack but allergic reaction directly linked to asthma. Latex does it for her, pollen may do it for the next person, and excercise does it for my wife. You compared your asthma related allergic reactions to this kids yet you think this kids is not asthma related? My wife and I have been Respiratory therapists for a long time and I would bet lots of $$$$ that this kid has asthma. That is untreated, maybe undiagnosed. I'm not saying he does not have EIA, but there is another component.

Ole Miss offensive lineman Kermit Tyler, a freshman from New Orleans, has been diagnosed with an allergic reaction to strenuous exercise.

Tyler has been barred from playing for Ole Miss, though the school will honor his scholarship. His football career appears to be finished.

"This is just a very freak incident," Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt told the Commercial Appeal. "I'm just glad our doctors and (head athletic trainer) Tim Mullins went to Jackson, and I'm glad they did the blood work and really studied it and found this thing."

I'll add that "all missed university" is the only SEC school this could occur at ...it is contagious & is passed from fat cat parents and "sore ity" babes in the grove on campus.. VU has a mrelated cousin disease but theirs at least has smarts syndrone included....

Quoting andefromtn's 1st post," many of those affected have underlying allergies or ASTHMA conditions". "For frequent episodes of anaphylaxis, your physician may recommend a combination of antihistamine, cortisone, and a medication to widen the airways of the lungs (bronchial dilator) to help reduce the severity of attacks". Andefromtn, these drugs are maitenance drugs for nearly every athmatic I have ever crossed. Bronchodilators due nothing for anaphylaxis, B-dilators only work on smooth muscle tissue which is found deep down in the lungs(bronchials). Steroids and Epinephrine are used for anaphylaxis. Either way it sounds to me like you yourself are decribing ashtma related allergic reactions and don't know it.

Another quote from Andethegreat,"RichRollin, asthma which I have had since birth does not cause itching and hives. EIA does cause those just like any other allergic reaction. In my mid 20s I would break out in hives for no reason everyday. There are many things that cause me to have allergic reactions and one day I may have a response to something I've been around all my life but suddenly I am allergic to it. Just because you haven't seen this doesn't mean it doesn't exist. All you have to do is google the phrase "allergic reaction to strenuous exercise" or "Exercise-induced anaphylaxis" and a host of information pops up". So let me get this right Ande, cause you got me cofused now. Asthma does not cause itching and hives, yet you have asthma and in your mid 20's you would get itching and hives. So do you have EIA or asthma? Sounds to me like you had an allergic reaction directly linked to your asthma. Don't bank your facts on medical info written in the 70's cause that stuff changes. Example, some doctor came up with the term AcuteCoronarySyndrome(ACS), but swears it is not a heartattack, yeah right! Sounds like some allergy doc. is trying to make a quick buck with a far out diagnosis that sounds to me like a reaction directly related to ones asthma.

Really poor choice of words in this article. The condition is very real, I know because I have it. The key word is strenuous. People with this condition can still jog, lift weights, play sports, etc but cant go "all out". Up to a certain point you are fine, but when you start to really push it breathing becomes very difficult, your lungs burn and you may start coughing up phlegm. You also feel pressure in your head like you do when flying. I really feel for this kid, as I stopped playing basketball and running cross country/track&field for my high school team because of this condition.
