Answers:
Don't eat them again until you go to a doctor to rule out an allergy!. You could literally die of anaphylactic shock- the tight throat is a very bad sign!. I bet you are allergic - they can get worse over time which is why you shouldn't risk eating them again!Www@Answer-Health@Com
They are not meant for HUMAN consumption!. Other sea-life don't eat crabs!. You are iodine sensitive!. You shouldn't eat crab, shrimp, lobster, or any crusacean or otherwise that is a sea-bottom dweller!. Their responsibility is to clean the bottom of the ocean!. They are scavengers!. That means that if there is a dead body or dead fish or dead anything in the ocean, they will eat it!. Pay attention to how crustaceans look!. Don't they look like you shouldn't eat them!?!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes it probably does!. Years ago my family and I went to eat at our fave Chinese restaurant!. On the drive home I noticed my chest felt hot and my tongue/throat felt strange!. When we got home I saw that I had big welts on my chest and back and my tongue felt swollen and my throat seemed like it was tightening or constricting!. We rushed over to the local ER and I was given a shot of Benadryl--I was fine in a couple of hours!. The doc said it was most likely caused by the shrimp I had eaten!. I avoided shrimp for the next few years , but I did start eating shrimp again (in small portions) and I never had another reaction until last year when for some odd reason I had shrimp 2 meals in a row!. It was a very mild reaction (only a few hives on my chest)!. It seems allergies can be mild or severe and throat tightening is considered a severe reaction!. I would avoid all shellfish until you see an allergist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it could mean you are allergic eaither to something that they were cooked with or the shell fish them selves!. some allergies can come and go!. One summer my grandmother was allergic to tomatos and broke out in hives every time she ate them!. The only way to know for sure is to have allergy tests done at you doctor!. hope things get better for you I don't knwo what I would do if I were allergic to shirmp and crab I love them :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
