what happens if someone goes into anaphylaxis?

I assume they intramuscularly inject epinephrine just as you would with an EpiPen. I doubt it'd be hard for patients to get hold of an epinephrine kit.

You'll also find developing countries have far less allergic population. It's said this is partly due to urban environments having more vitamin D deficiency as well as people being more exposed to more pathogens/etc during childhood outside of developed countries.
