See Allergist: There is no such thing as a slight allergy. You either are allergic to shellfish and should avoid or you are not and can eat as you wish. If you need to confirm a true allergy to shellfish see an Allergist for further testing. If you have had previous mild reactions to shellfish there is always a chance that your next exposure could result in a more severe reaction and/or anaphylaxis.
