Abstract: . . .  (Stewart and Ewan, 1996). Also, some reactions are triggered by a combination of food and exercise, and these exercise-triggered food-induced anaphylactic reactions may occur several hours after food intake. Page 18 http://www.efsa.eu.int/science/nda/nda_opinions/catindex_en.html Page 18 of 197 The register of all fatal anaphylactic reactions in England and Wales since 1992 suggests that there are about 20 deaths annually and that about one third of these reactions are due to foods (Pumphrey, 2000). Anaphylactic reactions . . .

A positive reaction is manifested as the development of a wheal, the diameter of which can be measured to grade the reaction. The diagnostic accuracy of a skin prick test in suspected food allergies varies Page 19 http://www.efsa.eu.int/science/nda/nda_op . . .
