This is just to clarify the terms being used and to make sure we are all
on the same place in this discussion.  According to Stedman's Medical
Dictionary, not quoted or it would be too long: Anaphylaxis aka
Anaphylactic Shock is a severe hypersensitivity to a substance.
Basically it is the most severe form of an allergic reaction possible.
So, anaphylaxis and an allergic reaction are differing severities of
the same process.
