what do u do to prevent having an allergic reaction to seafood?

Question

if u eat seafood and have an allergic reaction what do u do

Answer 1

Don't eat it. Seriously. Seafood (especially shellfish) is one of those allergies that almost always seems to end up as causing anaphylaxis - if you're not going into anaphylactic shock right now, chances are you eventually will.

Each time your body is exposed to the allergen, the reaction will become stronger. If you continue to eat it, you are risking a very deadly reaction. It's annoying and it's a pain and you'll probably hate it, but if you're having allergic reactions to it, I wouldn't risk it at all. In fact, talk to your doctor about it, and see if you should carry an epi-pen.

Answer 2

Avoid it and anything that may have been cooked with it! I LOVE scallops and for years could tolerate them in small amounts... The last time I had seafood stuffed fish (with scallops in the stuffing) I had an asthma attack and hives! I needed a bottle of liquid benadryl to get through the night and then prednisone from the Dr. :-(

Answer 3

You don't eat it or you could have an antiflactic reaction and die. In time, like maybe several years, without eating any you might be able to try small, very small amounts. But why take the chance?

Answer 4

i have allergies with seafoods too but i really love eating them so b4 i eat i always bring benadryl tablets just incase... hehe but seriously the best way is to avoid them or eat at your tolerance level only...
