Question 2

in allergic bmti shellfish and have not tried any for 20 years or so. will i still be allergic and can i eat calamari?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Allergy to shellfish is usually due to allergy to a common allergen. However, people may react differently to various shellfish. Not all shellfish may cause reactions. After 20 years, an initial contact may be tolerated. While calamari may be better tolerated than shrimp and crab, you should see an allergist before trying any shell fish if you had a bad reaction in the past.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

May be: Calamari are one kind of squid, which are distant relatives of molluscs. They contain a protein, tropomyosin, that cross reacts with that of shrimp, crabs etc., sometimes also with that of dust mites and cockroaches. If you are not very allergic to shellfish, you may be able to tolerate calamari. If you are, either avoid them or see an allergist to be tested and find out if you can risk it.

Accepted Answer

Calamari=Squid: Calamari is squid, a mollusk that contains tropomyosin like shellfish, although it doesnt have a hard exterior. If you are allergic to shellfish, you might react to it. If it is cooked in oil that was used to fry any type of fish to which you are allergic, you could react to allergens in the oil. Eating out can be tricky if you have a fish allergy !  always carry Epipen (epinephrine) also.
