Anaphylaxis is an allergic response that causes swelling of tissues in the body. There are many tissues in a narrow area in the neck along with a vital airway, so it is more dangerous when it happens in the neck.

Can anaphylaxis cause damage to the nervous system?

Anaphylaxis primarily affects the immune system and can lead to severe allergic reactions that may result in respiratory distress, cardiovascular collapse, and other life-threatening conditions. While it doesn't directly cause damage to the nervous system, the lack of oxygen (hypoxia) or low blood pressure during anaphylactic shock can potentially lead to neurological complications. If anaphylaxis is not treated promptly, it could result in secondary effects on the nervous system, such as confusion or loss of consciousness. However, direct damage to the nervous system is not a typical consequence of anaphylaxis.
