M059 cholinergic urticaria with anaphylaxis in a patient diagnosed with alpha-gal allergy

Cholinergic urticaria is a form of inducible urticaria triggered by passive elevation of core body temperature or by strong emotion. This form of physical urticaria may range from isolated cutaneous involvement to anaphylaxis. Diagnosis should be considered in young women who present with cutaneous, upper airway, lower airway, and/or GI symptoms.
