Post #343,981 by hnick 6/21/11 3:49:20 PM Reply	With me, I think it's the particular shrimp Several times, in a period 10 to 15 years ago, my lips would swell up like a Ubangi after eating shrimp. Strong antihistamines would knock it back down, so I'm assuming an allergic reaction. I've never had the problem with farmed shrimp from a known source. I'm guessing that the shrimp (who are scavengers) picked up some toxin that I'm sensitive to, in the wild. It's only happened a few times in a relatively short period, and it hasn't resurfaced, so I'm not about to abstain. I did receive all sorts of dire warnings but I guess I just don't take dire that seriously any more either. Oh well...
Post #343,982 by SpiceWare 6/21/11 4:05:52 PM Reply	same here Because of the inconsistency, it took me a while to figure out it was shrimp causing the problem. I try them every few months and it's a coin toss as to whether or not I'll break out. I keep Benadryl on hand for it. My dad had a similar problem a while back. It eventually stopped happening, so I'm hoping it'll go away for me as well.

Allergies often lessen or go away with age. --------------------------------------- I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band. (Tori Amos)
