A member asked:
Why would i have an allergic reaction to homemade lobster hours after eating it(approx 5 hours)? this has never happened before.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not un usual: An allergic reaction can sometimes be delayed for 4 to 8 hrs after exposure. Would see an allergist to investigate this further.
