    If it helps, that might be irrelevant for you! My friend mentioned that chitin was the issue (no idea if he’s right, please don’t take medical advice from me), so things like shrimp and crab are huge problems for him, but I think cephalopods less so

      Yeah, in my case it might just be molluscs (or possibly just squid, but I’m probably going to avoid escargot and mussels), which is less common but possible - crustaceans only is apparently much more common, but they apparently generally associate the two because it’s not unusual for both to cause problems and with serious allergies it’s better to not fuck around and find out.
