A member asked:
If you eat a food your whole life like peanuts and shellfish with no trouble then stop for a long time, can you develop an anaphylactic allergy?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Anaphylaxis: A person can develop an allergy at any point in time. It is possible, but unlikely, to develop an anaphylactic type reaction to a food previously tolerated.
