Résumé

In their classic studies of anaphylaxis, Portier and Richet described the rapid death of several dogs that they were attempting to immunize against the toxic sting of the sea anemone.^{36 Portier P., Richet C. De l’action anaphylacitque de certains venins C R Soc Biol (Paris) 1902 ; 54 : 172-170

From these studies, they concluded that anaphylaxis required a latent period for sensitization and re-exposure to the sensitizing material. Shortly thereafter, Schlossman reported a patient who developed acute shock after the ingestion of cow's milk.^{2 Anderson J. Sogn D., Anderson J. , et al. Adverse Reactions to Foods. NIH Public.
