Do you think it would be dangerous for me to eat this?!


Question: Do you think it would be dangerous for me to eat this!?
I think I have a shrimp allergy that I developed 6 years ago!. One ill-fated night, after eating shrimp, I had a really bad reaction where my throat felt like it was closing and I broke out in welts all over my face/lips!. I ended up in the hospital in the middle of the night!.

I still eat shrimp in moderation but I have never had as bad a reaction!. I do get swelling every once in awhile with the shrimp (but that hasn't happened in a year)!.

Anyhow, I am craving shrimp with broccoli from the Chinese place ( I get it fairly often and no reaction) but I am kind of worried because some people told me that I could die if I keep doing this!. What would you do!? Would you order it or get something else!?

Answers:
FROGGGG YES!!! I wouldn't eat it
What you are experiencing is called an anaphylactic reaction which can lead to anaphylactic shock which if left untreated can kill you

I'm allergic to bee stings so I always carry what's called an Epi-stick with me in the event that I get stung
An Epi-stick is a pre-measured injectable dosage of the drug epinephrine that can save your life when used in an emergency
You may want to talk to a doctor about all of this
Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

go to the doctor and they will be able to tell you if your allergic to shrimp so that you can know for sure otherwise i wouldnt eat it if i were you just in case Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't suggest you eat it if you have allergic relations, regardless if it's once in awhile you get swelling!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to your medical doctor or specialist and get allergy tested!. Seek advice from the experts - this is your health you are gambling with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do I think it's wise to eat it!? No, probably not!. You said it yourself, you ended up in a hospital, and assuming that a possible shrimp allergy really is the culprit, that's dangerous!.

I'd order something else!. I mean, it's a craving!. Cravings are usually best to resist anyways!. And I don't think I'd be risking my life over seafood anytime soon!.

But, hey, sometimes you got to live life on the edge!. Is it worth the risk for you!? I don't think that's really a question anyone can answer but yourself!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
