Food Allergies Treatment

Question by asimenia: Spots after eating prawns, allergy?
I have noticed that after I eat prawns I breakout in small white blister type spots is this to do with the shellfish? Is this a typical reaction if there’s an allergy involved. Normally when I go out to eat shellfish – I am usually going over the top in other areas (late night / alcohol / fish / smoky atmosphere (I don’t smoke but we live in Greece …)
If any one has suffered this please let me know. The spots where the worse where I had had waxing on my upper lip a few days before … no lady moustach but a nice line of blister spots! A girl can’t win!

That’s why I am asking as I wasn’t sure – I thought it was to do with late nights/alcohol and other things – I’ve only just put two and two together…… and I ADORE prawns and live by the sea in Greece!

You are allergic to prawns. Don’t eat them and get allergy tested for other types of fish. Shellfish are not the only fish to cause allergies as you have discovered with the prawns.

Thanks

Yes! You’re allergic to the shellfish. I’m not allergic to shellfish but I have a similar thing with penicillin, except my rash is awful and my hands and feet swell up. The waxing breakout is normal – i think they’re just whiteheads, that’s what I get. If you don’t eat shellfish before your next waxing but still get the breakout, wipe your face with a cool face towel (so the redness goes down) and then wipe it over with some cotton wool dipped in milk.

as long as his breathing is ok, no worry. He should not be given ANY kind of peanuts till he is 3yo, and I would get him checked out at the doctors before giving him any more at all.
Peanuts is a very common allergy, but cinnamon is possible too.
Does he have a fever at all? and has he had chickenpox yet?
