Shrimp is another ingredient that many people love. It can be used to make a variety of dishes. However, some people may not be able to eating it because they are allergic to this type of food. Some people are allergic to shrimp sometimes, or to certain restaurants, or to certain dishes only. This makes them worry whether they have a food allergy or not.
Because the allergic parts are not the same. Meat, head or shrimp fat, shells or toxic residues in specific shrimp dishes. Most people are allergic to the shrimp meat, which is the abdominal muscle, the part used the most in cooking. Some people are allergic only to the shrimp head or fat, which is the liver and heart of the shrimp. For example, some people eat grilled shrimp or shrimp fat with rice and have an allergic reaction even though they have never had an allergic reaction before. A minority are allergic only to the shells, which are substances such as chitin. The rest may be allergic only to contaminants from storage, freezing or the breeding process.
Another part is from the personal factors of the person who eats it. There are certain activities that make us more susceptible to allergies, such as exercising heavily before or after eating, drinking alcohol, having a menstrual cycle during that time, taking painkillers before, UFABET, etc. If during the time we eat the allergenic food and these factors are present, it may cause severe allergic reactions.
Warning signs of shrimp allergy
- Skin reactions such as hives, itching, or swelling. These reactions usually occur in areas that have come into contact with the shrimp, such as the lips or tongue, but can also affect other parts of the body.
- Respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing due to shrimp allergy may be particularly concerning and may indicate a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.
- Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, can occur with a shrimp allergy. These symptoms usually occur shortly after consuming shrimp and can range from mild to severe.
Shrimp allergy symptoms can be categorized as immediate or delayed. Immediate reactions that occur within minutes to hours after consuming shrimp, such as hives, difficulty breathing, and gastrointestinal problems, are often associated with immediate reactions. On the other hand, delayed reactions can occur over hours or even days. These reactions are less common, such as eczema, chronic sinusitis, or even joint pain.
