About this test and how it can help you

Some people with shellfish allergy react to all shellfish; others react to only certain kinds. Reactions range from mild symptoms - such as hives or a stuffy nose - to severe and even life-threatening.

Shellfish allergy symptoms generally develop within minutes to an hour of eating shellfish. They may include:

  • Hives, itching or eczema (atopic dermatitis)
  • Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body
  • Wheezing, nasal congestion or trouble breathing
  • Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting
  • Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting

Even though they both fall into the category of "seafood", fish and shellfish are biologically different. So fish will not cause an allergic reaction in someone with a shellfish allergy, unless that person also has a fish allergy.

Shellfish fall into two different groups:

  • Crustaceans, like shrimp, crab, or lobster
  • Mollusks, like clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, octopus, or squid

Symptoms of a fish allergy

  • Hives or a skin rash
  • Nausea, stomach cramps, indigestion, vomiting and/or diarrhea
  • Stuffy or runny nose and/or sneezing
  • Headaches
  • Asthma
  • Anaphylaxis (less common), a potentially life-threatening reaction that impairs breathing and can cause the body to go into shock

The test will give results for IgE reactions to the fish and shellfish in this panel
