We have a lot of customers with fish allergy, they take our omega-3 supplement from algae, so if you cant eat fish and your worried about a lack of long chain omega3 (EPA, DHA) in your diet, take an algae supplement instead. There are no proteins associated with fish oil allergy

When I have eatten salmon or tilapia I break out in hives 48 hours later and it takes up to a month to clear the hives. I have seen an allergist; a skin test and blood/antibody testing for all fish and shellfish were performed. I am told my reaction is atypical of a food allergy. Is there something else going on?

I am a Navy Lt. and while being in the Pacific two years ago I began to wheeze and developed this irritable rash all over my entire body. I was checked by our medical staff and flown to the nearest hospital and was given injections of prednizone and a dose pak of Medrol. Next I had to be placed on life support with all the tubes in my nose and an incision in my trachea with a tube inserted there into my lungs as my airways were swollen from the severe allergy I was having. The attending Dr. asked me what I had for my last meal and I told him some fish we caught in our nets and he said, “You are lucky to be alive.” Later I recovered and by later I mean weeks… and I took a battery of allergy test and fish was my worst nightmare of an allergy. I will never forget this ordeal and my wife cannot cook fish in the house and I can’t go into a restaurant that is cooking it. So the next time someone tries teasing you Jane, Ask them if they have enough insurance to cover your illness in ICU. This is a very serious condition and not easily handled except with avoidance 100%.

Actually I was only concerned due to my health, as fish allergies can kill ya! And who wants to die from ya air ways being completely closed together and suffocate to death? I love my brother and I love his wife…they couldn’t have understood the reality of such.

Actually,living with any food allergy is no longer a main undertaking, it is now just a small adjustment to your life-style.

My brother and his wife have just heard of my severe allergy to fish and now they enter the house with a strange odor present with a cologne scent with it. Now my throat is dry, scratchy, and I almost had an asmtha attack yesterday with them and used my inhaler and took two benadryl. They say taunting things to me as: Does your chicken taste like fish? Does this restaurant serve fish? They are going to order fish but luckily no fish was in this restaurant. I never told them I was allergic to fish and they knew I was allergic to eggs and then they cooked eggs everytime they could, frying okra, eggplant, and meat in eggs and flour. But this new thing has them really picking at me and I have left the residence to escape the odor. I am so sleepy from benadryl and lots of water. They go back to Texas in the morning and I hope I recover. Tell me what to do? I know they both use fish oil for health purposes and wonder if they are using it on the sofa where I sit and recline. I am on chemo too and I am not well at all.
Please tell me how to ck. to see if fish is actually in the house on a sofa or a surface…
