[quote=Anonymous]My husband is allergic to shrimp. The allergy didn't start until he was in his 20s and his first reaction was hours after he'd eaten it. He'd already gone to bed for the night and woke up in the middle of the night with difficulty breathing. He used to carry epipens but now that he knows it's ONLY shrimp, it's pretty easy for him to just avoid it. A few years ago, he was eating a salad someone had made for a picnic and the second he swallowed, he could feel tingling as it went down his throat. He stopped eating right away and asked about the ingredients and found out there was shrimp in it. He downed a bunch of benadryl and was fine. He was told by his doctor that sometimes allergies that come on suddenly like his did also disappear suddenly. No luck yet, though. I would absolutely go get testing done.[/quote]
