Allergic to Seafood? |
While peanuts often get the most publicity in the battle
to combat food allergies, a recent study released at an American Academy
of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology conference showed
that seafood allergies affect approximately 6.5 million people…more
than double the 3 million people who have peanut or tree nut
allergy.
The study showed that a shellfish allergy is reported by 1-in-50
persons and a fish allergy by 1-in-250. The most commonly reported
allergic reactions to shellfish were caused by shrimp,
crab, and lobster. In the fish group, salmon,
tuna and halibut were the most common causes of reactions.
