Nou, ik heb hier dus wel allergische reacties bij zowel mens als hond gezien en ik kan je zeggen dat het geen prettig gezicht is!
Hier wat meer info:
Shellfish Allergy
The shellfish commonly known to cause allergic reactions include shrimp, crab, crayfish, lobster, oysters, clams, scallops, mussels, squid, and snails.
Shrimp is usually associated with seafood allergies. Those allergic to shrimp often suffer from respiratory allergy. Crab is also a potent allergen. Shrimp, lobster, and crawfish contain common major allergens, making cross reactivity between shrimp and crab, and lobster and crawfish possible.
Symptoms
The manifestations of fish and shellfish allergies can include those of a classic food allergy. The more common symptoms include skin, stomach, or respiratory problems. More specifically they can include nasal congestion, hives, itching, swelling, wheezing or shortness of breath, nausea, upset stomach, cramps, heart burn, gas, diarrhea, lightheadedness, or fainting.
Reactions usually appear within 2 hours after ingestion, inhaling cooking vapors, or handling of seafood. However, it has been reported the reactions can be delayed as long as 24 hours.
Keep in mind, "Fish and shell fish spoil easily", says James T. Li, M.D., a specialist in allergies, asthma and immunology at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. "In some cases, spoiled fish can contain histamine, a substance that causes hives and flushing. If someone eats the spoiled fish, they can have symptoms similar to an allergic reaction. But this is actually a type of food poisoning."

Overigens (voor Lupa) was de vraag van MarijeJoanne of ze mosselen kon geven (aan de hond) die al voor het koken al niet goed voor menselijke consumptie blijken te zijn. En ik antwoordde daar simpelweg op: nee. Want als je mosselen wil geven, begin dan eens met een gezonde/goede mossel te geven en niet met een rotte.
