| Fish and Shellfish Allergy |  This is a rather dangerous type of allergy as the severe reaction called anaphylaxes is often possible. This type of allergy is met equally among children and among adults. In some cases the allergic reaction to a particular kind of fish/fishes can be observed. Thus you may be tested on different types of fish and this test will show what kinds if fish are not dangerous for you. The same rule applies to shellfish. This type of allergy doesn’t mean avoiding all the fish or shellfish in your diet. But an individual can get an allergic reaction even walking in the fish rows in the market or supermarket as these allergens spread through the air. The allergens can become airborne also while cooking. You should keep this knowledge in mind if you have such allergy.
While some sources of fish are obvious the others are hidden. The hidden sources are:
• Caponata, a traditional sweet-and-sour Sicilian relish, can contain anchovies.
• Caesar salad dressings and steak or Worcestershire sauce often contain anchovies.
• Surimi (imitation crabmeat) contains fish.
The god news for those who suffer from this allergy is that you shouldn’t avoid all seafood. Algae among which carrageenan are completely safe. With the help of algae you can maintain the necessary level of iodine in your organism.
