What Are Symptoms Of Sea Food Allergy?
Hi, I notice lately that when I eat crab legs, I begin to itch, and my hands break out, and the places that I touch with my hands, but not inside. What do you think cause that, because I ve never had this problem before and I m 62, but I do have two younger sisters that can t eat any seafood at all, only fish.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
Symptoms of food allergy includes among others itching, and it very common to have allergy for sea food. Sometimes allergy appears later in life, since our body in constant change due to certain circumstances certain genes are activated leading to new allergies. Please refer to a dermatologist with your symptom and get a full allergy test for proper management and in order to avoid food which can provoke allergy sometimes this can be very dangerous leading to anaphylactic shock.
Best,
Dr. Ahmad
