A member asked:
Last night i touched some shrimp at work and i've had three of the above symptoms. does this mean i'm allergic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shrimp allergy: No symptoms are noted above but a food allergy is typically with ingestion although fish and shellfish can cause symptoms from cooking if they get aerosolized. The best and safest method is to see an allergist for testing and further discussion since food allergies manifest in many different ways.
