I am searching for pictures or illustrations that demonstrate what
happens when someone experiences an anaphylactic reation..eg swelling
of the throat.

Hi reddenup,

"The acute laryngeal edema seen here that killed the patient was due
to an anaphylactic reaction to penicillin. Such an allergy is a form
of type I hypersensitivity reaction in which there is preformed IgE
antibody on mast cells that quickly reacts with an antigen. The mast
cells release histamine and other mediators that lead to the edema."

On right side of page slightly from the top see diagram:
Local Anaphylaxis


And halfway down the page, on the right side you'll see a diagram
titled: Human Bee Sting - Systemic Anaphylaxis

An example of systemic anaphylaxis
The three graphs show the physiological responses of a physician (Dr.
Vick) stung by a single bee while on a picnic with coworkers
(fortunately some with medical training!).
