Crayfish
Crayfish allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins found in crayfish, a type of shellfish. Similar to other shellfish allergies, it can range from mild to severe and can be potentially life-threatening in some cases. People with crayfish allergy may react not only to eating crayfish but also to inhaling steam from cooking crayfish....
What are symptoms of crayfish allergy?
- Hives or skin rash
- Itching or tingling in or around the mouth
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, face, or throat
- Gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Nasal congestion, wheezing, or difficulty breathing
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
- Anaphylaxis in severe cases
What foods cross-react with crayfish allergy?
People with a crayfish allergy often have allergies to other types of shellfish. Cross-reactivity can occur with:
- Shrimp, prawns, and lobster
- Crabs and other crustaceans
- In some cases, mollusks such as clams, mussels, and oysters
When should I consider getting a crayfish allergy test?
- If you experience symptoms suggestive of an allergic reaction after consuming crayfish.
- If you have a known allergy to other shellfish, as there’s a higher risk of cross-reactivity.
- If you have experienced symptoms while cooking or being near cooking crayfish.
- If you’re introducing shellfish into your or your child’s diet and there’s a family history of food allergies.
How do I reduce my crayfish allergy symptoms?
- Strictly avoid crayfish and any foods that might contain crayfish as an ingredient.
- Be cautious when dining out, especially at seafood restaurants, and inform the staff of your allergy.
- Read food labels diligently to ensure they do not contain crayfish or other shellfish.
- Be aware of cross-contamination in kitchens where shellfish is prepared.
- Carry an epinephrine auto-injector if prescribed, especially if you’ve had a severe reaction in the past.
- Consult with an allergist for a definitive diagnosis and personalized management plan.
