Answer 1

Allergies can be very serious... while some people are just mildly allergic to things like seafood and just suffer vomiting or diarrhoea (which is bad enough!) others suffer an immune reaction called anaphylaxis, or anaphylactic shock.

In anaphylaxis the reaction is a bit like when part of you swells up from a wasp or bee sting but it's your WHOLE body. This is very dangerous because it might include your lungs or mouth, which would become so swollen that you couldn't breathe. Or your blood pressure might drop dangerously low because your blood would flow into all the swollen areas and just sort of slop about there instead of being pumped round your body.

If this happens you usually only have about 20 mins to live at the most and you will need an injection of adrenaline - sometimes directly into your heart - to give you any chance of survival.

THERE IS NO MEDICINE I KNOW OF THAT YOU CAN TAKE BEFOREHAND TO PREVENT THIS!!!

I love seafood as well but I am allergic to molluscs (clams, squid, mussels, oysters, etc) although I'm not allergic to crustaceans (crab, shrimps, prawns, lobster). If you don't know already, find out whether you are allergic to ALL seafood or just some types like I am (using your doctor or allergy specialist... NOT by experimenting on your own!!!) then you might be able to eat the ones that are OK.

But whatever you do, don't take the risk unless you're sure you're gonna be OK... it's a horrible way to die!

Good luck!

Answer 2

How have you reacted in the past when you ate some?? You don't say whether you are slightly allergic (just get a little sick) or if you become deathly ill and can't breathe. Most people I've known with a shellfish allergy can't touch it at all. They become violently ill and their throat and face swell up and it becomes very difficult to breathe. I would consult with a doctor to see if there would be any medication available before I tried to eat any.

Answer 3

Sorry I don't know but if you are allergic then you should probably Not eat it cuzz I have a friend that has a peanut and soy allergic reaction and it is very serious and I would not take the chance! and resist the temptation!

Answer 4

There's no thing you can eat, although I would suggest daily jogging, which enables me to eat wheat.

The others are right, allergies are serious and need to be dealt with - I wouldn't recomend eating it if your doctor says not to. Allergies are deadly serious.

Answer 5
