What are common symptoms of Blue Mussel/ Oyster/ Clam/ Scallop allergy?
- Hives, itching, or eczema on the skin
- Swelling of the lips, face, tongue, throat, or other body parts
- Gastrointestinal distress, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Respiratory issues, including coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing
- Anaphylaxis, a severe reaction that necessitates immediate medical attention
What triggers a shellfish allergy to blue mussel, oyster, clam, and scallop?
Allergies to these shellfish are triggered by proteins that the immune system mistakenly identifies as harmful, leading to an allergic reaction.
Can shellfish allergies be outgrown?
Shellfish allergies are more likely to persist into adulthood than other food allergies. Regular allergy testing and consultations with an allergist can provide updated information on your allergy status.
What treatment options exist for shellfish allergies?
The primary treatment is strict avoidance of the allergenic shellfish. For accidental exposure, antihistamines may help manage mild symptoms, but an epinephrine auto-injector is necessary for severe reactions.
