Hi Everyone! Apologies in advance for formatting.
I’ve been eating shrimp pretty much my entire adult life. One time in my 20s (I’m 33 now) I vaguely recall eating a shrimp quesadilla and getting a migraine - but no hives. 24 hours ago I consumed Mexican-style shrimp cocktail and have developed hives on my extremities (arms and legs). The only other symptoms are a slight headache and I’ve taken definitely more OTC generic Claritin than recommended to no avail.
I know - I should get evaluated by an allergist and probably go see my PCP or go to urgent care and Reddit is not a reliable source for medical advice. My question is, has anyone else developed a similar “sometimes-only” shrimp allergy? I had a seafood-boil style shrimp dinner last week with literally no issues! So weird!
Any advice to calm the hives down?
