Why Does My Elbow Turn Itchy And Swollen After Having Shrimp?
Second time within two weeks I encountered itchy elbow that became very swollen and kind of numb to touch. This time my left wrist is experiencing the same thing and now the left elbow no longer itches or swollen. I have no allergies to my knowledge but have encountered these issue after consistently eating shrimp as I have in the past could that be the problem?
