Thread: Anyone allergic to shrimp

Bill, everybody just likes to give you a hard time.

Don't know about vinegar, just water helps and a little soap is even better. Also, I carry a pouch full of latex gloves. I used some shrimp pompano fishing when that school moved in under the toilets last year. Man that was fun. Helps cleaning, too. Never know what the fish has eaten.

Yes, food allergies, especially those that effect breathing, are no fun. But you have to learn to live with it. Lots of worse things.

Just an FYI: I didn't grow out of it. It gets worse every time I get into it. Some people, though, only have mild reactions. I can verify that both shrimp and lobster blow me up.

Since he's only three and won't bait his own hook, then the chances of him having a problem without ingesting it or handling it are zeroish.

I started to say "sand fleas" but I guess I'd stick with cut-bait using fish rather than shell-fish.

I guess it was a blessing in diguise that he was scared of the shrimp and sand fleas last year
