Symptoms of hairy crab allergy

The hairy crab is also called crab. People like to eat it when they go out to play or invite friends. The way to eat crabs is quite complicated, and if you want to eat crabs, there are many things you cannot eat after eating crabs. Because eating crabs with these things can easily cause poisoning. You can't eat too many crabs, as it will make you feel uncomfortable. Sometimes people are even allergic to crabs.

Some people will find red bumps on their bodies after eating crabs.

The skin allergic reaction caused by eating crabs and other seafood is usually called "urticaria". It is very itchy and cannot be scratched with hands. More serious cases may also cause dizziness, vomiting, headache, swelling of the head, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. This is a typical symptom of an allergic reaction to crabs.

1. If the allergic symptoms are mild, you don’t need to take any medication or special treatment. Don’t worry, they will heal on their own in 1 or 2 days. Of course, if you want to stop the itching sooner, you might as well drink perilla water.

Preparation: Take 10-12 grams of dried perilla leaves (available at Chinese medicine stores), put them in a teapot, brew with 500-600 ml of boiling water and drink. This method is very effective for itching, urticaria, papules, abdominal pain and other symptoms caused by eating seafood.

2. If the allergic symptoms are severe and the itching is unbearable:

(1) You can try taking common anti-allergic drugs (such as loratadine). You can also take vitamin C while taking anti-allergic drugs. Alternatively, you can also apply dermatitis ointment on the itchy and red skin.

(2) Alternatively, you can take Claritin or Chlorpheniramine orally for allergic reactions, combined with vitamin C and calcium gluconate. Triamcinolone acetonide cream can be applied topically.

3. During the allergy period, you should not eat seafood such as crabs and shrimps, and should not eat greasy and spicy foods.

4. If the crab allergy symptoms are very serious, such as difficulty breathing, cold hands and feet, panic, etc., go to the hospital immediately and tell the doctor that you have eaten crabs before.
