Hi I was so confused please help....for a time bow I noticed that whenever I eat the Tomally (crab innards) I get very itchy all over my skin and I develop spots. So I thought I developed a seafood allergy..however I noticed that I can crab meat no problem but once I eat the innards I get itchy...what is causing this? What is in the innards to make me allergic? I have eaten scallops lobster etc an no issues. Please advise Thanks you

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may be a component of the innards or related to something added as it is being prepared.

Allergy testing may give you a better idea of the possible allergen.

It would be best to avoid future use because your allergic response would worsen over time if you are repeatedly exposed.

I hope this helps
