Is it possible to be allergic to one type of crab and not to the other types? After eating the meat inside the bodies of a dungeness or blue crab (not sure which one) my throat became itchy, had runny nose, few itchy red areas on my lower face, abdomen, one arm and leg (happened the second time eating this type of crab). But after eating snow crab legs I never had those reactions. Or could it also possibly be what was in the body of crabs?
