What do you meant by fish allergy?

Bony fish allergy: Main familes of seafood: bony fish (cod), bivalves (clam), crustaceans (crab), cephalopods (squid), gastropods (snail), with cross-reactivity within a family but rarely between families. Main symptoms: itchy/swollen lips/mouth/throat, nausea/vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, red/itchy skin, hives, runny/stuffy nose, chest tightness/wheezing, shortness of breath. Reactions occur within 1/2-2 hr.

Fish allergy: This typically refers to finned fish. The most common allergen is parvalbumin which is in variable amounts. While there is much cross reactivity with allergy tests, there is variability inf true allergic reactions with open challenge. Fish is in the top 8 most common food allergens and usually long lasting. See my blog at: http://www.Familyallergyasthmacare.Com/2013/11/fish-allergy/.
