People who are allergic to shellfish are allergic to tropomyosin and another protein found in shellfish.(pervalbumin—iirc). Historically it was thought to be the iodine....but no longer....FYI
Freegards.
Thanks!
Shellfish allergies are most often the immune system’s response to a protein found in shellfish muscles called tropomyosin. Antibodies trigger the release of chemicals such as histamines to attack the tropomyosin. The histamine release leads to a number of symptoms that can range from mild to life-threatening.
Appreciate the update.
