A member asked:
Do you know of any safe medication i could take to curb my allergic reactions to crab and shrimps? & what causes these
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : Do not eat foods that you are allergic to under any circumstances. These foods are like poison to you and taking some medication to dampen your allergic response is not healthy. There are plenty of other foods to eat beside crab and shrimp.
