Reminds me of my mother. We thought she was allergic to shellfish because
she went into anaphylactic shock from eating a crab once (despite having
eaten them all her life). After that, she would still eat shellfish--mostly
shrimp but sometimes other types--and would sometimes break into hives but
sometimes not. A few months ago she had a bad reaction to peanuts so her
doctor sent her to an allergy specialist. Turns out she's allergic to
peanuts, lettuce, potatoes and tomatoes (and probably the other nightshades,
too), soy, corn, mushrooms, and I can't remember what else. She still eats
all of those things and still breaks out into hives (turns out she's not
allergic to shellfish, though, but is probably allergic to sulfites) *and*
doesn't have an epi-pen or keep chlor-tripolon around. It drives me nuts!
