A member asked:
Was eating some abalone and started feeling numb. should i eat my allergy pills before or after the shellfish?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is it allergy?: If you are allergic to shellfish, don't eat abalone. Feeling numb is not necessarily a symptom of allergy. If you are allergic and going to eat shellfish anyway, take an allergy pill before you do, or immediately after you have, if you did not plan on it.
