worst nightmare came true sat night!!

well i went to a japenese restraunt sat night and 3 hrs later found myself in hospital covered in hives, had swelling around my face and struggled a tiny bit to breathe. ended up getting an injection and was ok the next day. I find out for sure tomorrow but shellfish allergy is likely, which sucks big time as i freakin eat prawns and crab all the bloody time. My favoutite thing to do is to go crabbing in the holidays. But there is a chance i could be only allergic to softshell crab, the doctor was saying they have high levels of mercury and iodine. So im praying thats the case:)

And its very common for an adult to develop a shellfish allergy overnight just like i have :ohmy:

Hey Troy its a one off session i believe because i've eaten seafood all my life until i came across a bad batch being where its caught, and all hell broke loose.

I also generally have a blood test every year to see what vitamins and proteins etc i lack to keep my health in tip top condition, and then occasional squeeze is a test which it use your blood to test for all allergies, similar to a scratch test and it states i have no allergic reactions to anything at all.

So every now an then when i decide to eat seafood, things would be perfectly fine but i always carry around anti-histamines for precautions cause every now and then i do get an allergic reaction. but the odds of it happen would be 1 out of 10 but that just me.

So dont hesitate to eat seafood because an one off session.

Hope it turns out ok for u mate. A couple of years ago I found out that I was allergic to all types of shellfish which i was devostated about because I absolutely love prawns, crab, oysters etc. I cant even touch the meat without my hands blowing up :pinch: Thankfully fish and calamari are still on the menu :cheer:

so if you went to a seafood restaurant it would make sense you are may have been allergic to seafood, but as it was a Japanese restaurant perhaps you are allergic to Japanese :lol:

Does that mean that you have had blood tests for allergies?

If not it would be prudent to do so.

Cheers
