A member asked:

Do i have a coconut and shellfish allergy if i broke out with hives eating coconut shrimp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need evaluation: You need to see a board certified allergist as soon as possible for further evaluation. Some simple tests can be done in the office to help determine if you are allergic to coconut or shrimp or both. In the meantime do not eat either.
