Im highly allergic to shellfish if someone eats shellfish and touches a door handle and i touch it can i get a reaction from that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Exposure to the shellfish may include skin contact, but usually is caused by ingestion. If you are allergic to shellfish, avoid exposure to all shellfish, including accidental exposure. Clean surfaces and wash hands; watch for signs of an allergic reaction including hives, vomiting and problems breathing.
