Not Allergic: If you can eat prawns now then you are not allergic. A true IgE-mediated allergy will manifest whether you eat one prawn or 6 prawns. For clarification see an Allergist to determine your risk. Also, allergic reaction to foods are immediate, occurring within minutes to 2 hrs. A reaction 5 hrs later likely unrelated. Could have been the half bottle of wine you drank.
