What Are The Symptoms Of Shellfish Allergy?
What are the symptoms of shellfish allergy? I awoke chilled with uncontrollable shivering & shaking to the point Iwas having a hard time speaking. I take plavix & baby aspirin per my cardiologist. I had a large lunch of steamed clams & mussels prior to this issue arising. Once I was able to warm up these symptoms went away. We are visiting cool/humid Washington from hot/dry AZ . Thanks for your insight,

Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
Shellfish allergy symptoms generally develop within minutes to an hour of eating shellfish. They may include:
Hives, itching or eczema (atopic dermatitis)
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting
Tingling in the mouth
Wheezing, nasal congestion or trouble breathing
Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body
Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting
