Anaphylaxis is an allergic response that causes swelling of tissues in the body. There are many tissues in a narrow area in the neck along with a vital airway, so it is more dangerous when it happens in the neck.

Bronchoconstriction is due to an activation of parasympathetic nervous system.
Are anticholinergics parasympathomimetics?
Parasympathomimetics are cholinergics. They effect the muscarinic receptors sites and cause bronchoconstriction or cause the closing of airways. Parasympatholytics are anticholinergics. They block the muscarinic receptor sites and prevent bronchoconstriction or prevent closing of airways. Source: I'm a 3.8 gpa Respiratory Therapy student.

What is the scientific name for a allergic reaction to fish?
Anaphylaxis is an acute systemic (multi-system) and very severe Type I Hypersensitivity allergic reaction in humans and other mammals. The term comes from the Greek words ανα ana(against) and φύλαξις phylaxis (protection).[1] Minute amounts of allergens may cause a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylaxis may occur after ingestion, skin contact, injection of an allergen or, in some cases, inhalation.[2] Anaphylactic shock, the most severe type of anaphylaxis, occurs when an allergic response triggers a quick release from mast cells of large quantities of immunological mediators (histamines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes) leading to systemic vasodilation (associated with a sudden drop in blood pressure) and edema of bronchial mucosa (resulting in bronchoconstriction and difficulty breathing). Anaphylactic shock can lead to death in a matter of minutes if left untreated. Fish is the allergen in this case and so the scientific name for a severe allergic reaction to fish is 'anaphylactic to fish'.# "Anaphylaxis." Etymology.
