A member asked:
What percentage of people that have shrimp allergies have clam allergies also as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not known: I was unable to find an exact number in the literature, but it is generally advisable to avoid all shellfish if you have had an allergic reaction and are confirmed to be sensitized to shellfish.
