A member asked:
The skin of my hands itch badly whenever i gut/clean fish. is this some kind of allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You have developed an allergy to raw fish and this may be prevented by wearing a glove. At times, excessive exposure to airborne fish allergen may trigger asthma or hay fever for some. You may or may not experience problem from eating cooked fish since cooking does altered the structure of some of the fish allergens.
