What Causes Burning Sensation In The Hand?
While cleaning shrimp I experienced a burning sensation inside the palm of my hand. I also had the same burning sensation after eating snow crabs, handling the crabs with my hands to break them. The pain comes and goes even if I m not eating shellfish. Is this an allergic reaction or possibly something else?

Hi,
It is an allergic reaction.
Avoid shellfish and other allergens to prevent a severe reaction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
