dead is dead so the answer is NO

follow up question:

How do you know when someone is dead?

[student-2]

No- you cant have an allergic rxn in a dead person as circulation is required to spread immune mediators.
Now a follow up question- name some of the immune mediators and there function? Don't be scared to look 'em up, it's important to know.
