Unlike other food allergies, which are typically first observed in babies and young children, an allergy to fish may not become apparent until adulthood; in one study, as many as 40 percent of people reporting a fish allergy had no problems with fish until they were adults.
Having an allergy to a finned fish (such as tuna, halibut or salmon) does not mean that you are also allergic to shellfish (shrimp, crab and lobster). While some allergists recommend that individuals with a fish allergy avoid eating all fish, it may be possible for someone allergic to one type of fish to safely eat other kinds. If you are allergic to a specific type of fish, your allergist can help you determine whether other varieties may be safe to eat, so you can take control of your fish allergy and start enjoying life again.
Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, a geriatric oncology fellow at Boston Medical Center, said he had a severe reaction almost immediately after being vaccinated, feeling dizzy and with a racing heart.
The patient is a 55-year-old female with a history of significant allergies including prior anaphylactic reactions who presented to the emergency department (ED) 1 day after receiving the BNT162b2 with complaints of dyspnea. The aforementioned allergic reactions occurred with exposure to fresh fish, iodine solution, and the rabies vaccine. Her reaction to fresh fish was described as hives on her chest, dyspnea, and throat tightness that occurred within 30 minutes.
