A member asked:

How do i get rid of my shrimp allergy every time i eat it my throat and lips become swollen and itchy for few minutes when i stop eating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't: Don, t test yourself with shellfish anymore! you are potentially putting your life in danger everytime you eat it. See an allergist and determine what you are allergic to and get a Epinephrine auto injector to carry around. For the time being there is no cure for shellfish allergy.
