Quote"Anaphylactic shock" is a term that specifically refers to an episode of anaphylaxis where the person goes into a state of shock due to poor blood circulation that deprives the body of oxygen and nutrients.

I must say, though-- it's not quite as thorough as the trusty anaphylaxis grading chart-- I also like that the grading chart sort of presents symptoms on a sliding kind of increasing SCALE, rather than just a binary one.

Repetitive vomiting is a bigger deal than hives, for example...

But I love that it comes as a fridge magnet!! 
Resistance isn't futile.  It's voltage divided by current.
