I had an itch all over my body after eating crabs. why did that happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible allergy: One of the symptoms of food allergies is itching; other symptoms are hives, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea and worse case scenario is anaphylaxis. It is not unusual for adults to develop seafood allergies in particular crustaceans such as crab, lobster and shrimp. An allergist can confirm by allergy testing if this is an allergy. Avoid crabs until seen by an allergist.
