Never had a reaction like that, thankfully, but when I was in my early 20s I randomly started getting an itchy throat after eating shrimp.

A few years back, I ate shrimp and woke up in the middle of the night, barely able to breathe...but unlike Adrian, I was not able to call the head "trainer", nor could I have afforded the ambulance ride nor ER visit....but like alot of Americans, without the insurance of pro athletes, etc, I monitored myself..and unlike Adrian, I cannot afford a test to see if I am allergic, I just quit eating shrimp.... Give up shellfish....

Unfortunately for Peterson, we don't know if the presumed shrimp came from the Gulf or from some dirty freshwater pond in SE Asia. Personally I'll take Gulf shrimp, at least they are not being plied with antibiotics and other possibly illegal drugs in their pens. But shellfish are not the only things that cause this reaction. With my wife, it happened with Kiwi. Her throat almost completely closed, and it was very scary. This is a a histamine reaction we found, and taking an anti-histamine is what's required along with epinephrine from the EPI-pen. The problem is swallowing the anti-histamine. If you are susceptable to this irritation, get an EPI-pen, but they do expire so keep them up to date.
