Symptoms of seafood allergy:

What are the symptoms of seafood allergy? People often experience a special kind of poisoning after eating seafood, which manifests as allergy-like symptoms such as skin itching, redness, edema, etc. However, these people may just be allergic to certain fish. If there is no allergic reaction to eating seafood under subcutaneous testing or monitoring, you can still eat other fish or seafood without rejecting all seafood.

Eating stale or spoiled green-skinned red fish can cause poisoning; pickled salted fish, if the raw materials are not fresh or not pickled thoroughly, contains a lot of histamine, which can also cause poisoning after eating. People with allergies may also experience symptoms of poisoning after eating a small amount of histamine.

The onset of poisoning is fast, usually 0.5 to 1 hour after ingestion, sometimes only 5 minutes, and the longest time is only 4 hours. The symptoms are mild, recovery is fast, and death may occur occasionally. Common symptoms include flushing, dizziness, headache, palpitations, panic, chest tightness, shortness of breath, swelling of the face and lips, numbness of the mouth, tongue and limbs, nausea, vomiting, itchy skin, etc.
