I am cooking shrimp and I touched my eye and they started to swell. This happened before and I went to the emergency room and they gave me some drops. Is the anything else that I can do at home? I really don't want to go to the emergency room tonight.

If you have already flushed your eye with lukewarm running water, like right under the tap for 10 minutes, the next suggestion would be to take an antihistamine.
Down side of not going is that your eye might be much much worse by morning.
Ask the doc for a prescription for the eye drops in case this ever happens again.
I would think you couldn't eat the shrimp either your eye gets swollen, it sounds like an allergic reaction.

Flush with water, then put a wet tea bag on it.
