Some of the symptoms of chicken allergy are,ear infections, bladder infections, asthma attack, bed-wetting, eczema, skin rashes, acne, fatigue, insomnia, migraines, depression and chronic up set stomach.
Sometimes aperson can manifest symptoms in as little as ten minutes or as long as twenty-four hours.
Chicken has allergy-producing substances that are called purines. They can cause gout and/or kidney stones. If symptoms show up get your doctor’s help. The doctor can prescribe medications to treat chicken allergy. Prevention would be to avoid eating chicken meat. Allergies are treatable but, not cureable.
If you think you are allergic to chicken, see your doctor, or an allergist.
Note: People who are allergie to chicken are not always allergic to chicken eggs and vice-versa.

Subjects with chicken meat allergy can be divided into two groups. The first group presents allergic symptoms without clinical reactions to hen's egg protein, while the second group can be a subset of patients with so-called "bird-egg syndrome" who are allergic to chicken meat as well as to egg yolk and other bird allergens from serum and feathers.
Cross-reactivity to other avian meats and egg yolk, respectively, is due to serum albumins. Chicken serum albumin is the major chicken meat allergen.
Among the most common and prevalent manifestation or symptom of chicken allergy are frequent infections like ear infections and bladder infections; asthma attack; bed-wetting; eczema; skin rashes; acne; unusual fatigue; insomnia; migraine; depression and chronic disturbance in the gastrointestinal system.
Some people with chicken allergy even develop sinusitis which is somehow unusual if they don’t really have the history. Hives and joint pains are also prevalent to them.
Symptoms of chicken meat allergy occur or show up after several minutes of in take. To some people, the reaction could surface in as fast as at least ten minutes, while in others it can be as slow and prolonged to take up to 24 to 48 hours

I also have a chicken allergy but not a typical one. I can eat chicken just fine but if I prepare chicken (raw) I have to wash my hands repeatedly during the process or I break out in tiny red itchy blisters. Cooked chicken is the same but takes longer. I also have the same thing happens to my arms with paper bags so I always have to ask for plastic.

I am allergic to all meats. Often, the allergy is not to the meat itself, but the methods it was raised in and how it is processed. I am highly allergic to wheat and soy and eggs.. Chickens are fed a diet of wheat and soy. They are shot full of antibiotics (which contain eggs) steroids, and growth hormones. All of that goes into the meat. Then, after slaughter, they are injected with antimicrobials that contain bleach and peroxide, because the meat contains fecal matter and needs to be disinfected. Often, people develop an allergy to the combination, not the actual chicken.
