It happened again

Last night before I got out of work I decided to have a bit to eat. Immediately after I finished my buttermilk shrimp with white rice and vegetables I felt the right side of my face get itchy. I thought it was just some stray hairs. I went back to the office to finish closing out and one of the servers came up to me and said, "Hey the hives are back" Sure enough there were large red welts, larger than last time, up and down the right side of my face. I didn't take anything this time and after about an hour or so they were no longer noticible unless of course I told you about how I almost died from the shrimp.

Anyway, this brings me to a troubling possibility. I may be allergic to shellfish! I don't know if I can live with that. This is only two shrimp instances though. I thought I ate the same exact shrimp/rice/veggie combination sometime this week and don't recall having a reaction. Maybe the severity differs. Oh shrimp! Oh lobster! Oh clams! Oh crabs! Bring on the hives. I'm not giving those babies up.
