Understanding shellfish allergies and their risks
Shellfish allergies are an immune system reaction that occurs when the body mistakenly identifies proteins found in shellfish—such as shrimp, crab, lobster, or crayfish—as harmful. When someone with a shellfish allergy consumes these proteins, their immune system releases chemicals like histamine, triggering allergic symptoms.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:
- Hives or itchy skin
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
- Gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Respiratory problems such as wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath
- Dizziness, fainting, or a rapid heartbeat
In severe cases, shellfish allergies can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that can cause airway constriction, a sudden drop in blood pressure, and shock. Anaphylaxis requires immediate emergency treatment, often with an epinephrine injection.
Because even trace amounts of shellfish can trigger a reaction, people with this allergy must carefully read labels and avoid any products that may contain shellfish. It is also recommended that individuals who have been exposed or experience any signs of an allergic reaction seek medical care immediately.
