[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had something very similar to your husband appear out of nowhere. I didn't think it was shellfish because I could often eat it without any is swelling or hives and sometimes would get hives w/o shellfish. [b]The current theory is that it was preservatives causing my outbreaks[/b]. I noticed that I had it more after work events that was catered with shell fish or if I ate somewhere that was not top notch. My allergist said that caterers or certain other places will use some kind of preservative on food to make it not brown or oxidize. I had these episodes for about a year and then it stopped as sudden,y as it came on. It was so very strange and really freaked me out because lip swelling is no joke.
