Seafood allergy is a type of food allergy. It is a hypersensitivity to dietary substances from shellfish, scaly fish or crustaceans, causing an overreaction of the immune system, which may lead to severe physical symptoms for millions of people. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates that the majority of pediatric and adult food allergy patients have a seafood allergy. It occurs mainly (but not exclusively) in adults.

  • Seafood allergy is a type of food allergy. It is a hypersensitivity to dietary substances from shellfish, scaly fish or crustaceans, causing an overreaction of the immune system, which may lead to severe physical symptoms for millions of people. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates that the majority of pediatric and adult food allergy patients have a seafood allergy. It occurs mainly (but not exclusively) in adults. Allergic reactions may result when the susceptible person is not consuming the allergenic substance, by exposure to vapours resulting from cooking of seafood or even preparation or handling.
  • Kala-allergia on allergia, jossa allergikolla voi olla hyvinkin voimakkaat oireet. Oireita ovat mm. ripuli, oksentelu, kivut, pahoinvointi, kutina, punotus ja ihottuma. Koko elimistön allerginen reaktio, eli anafylaktinen šokki on myös mahdollinen. Oireiden voimakkuus on hyvinkin yksilöllistä, jotkut eivät voi edes sietää kalan hajua. Kala-allergeenit ovat voimakkaita, eivätkä ne pilkkoudu kuumennettaessa. Kala-allergia säilyy yleensä aikuisikään asti.
