Re: Brine shrimp eggs/bloodworm allergy
Hello Tom,
I am alergic to frozen brine shrimp. I can handle them without a
problem, but if afterwards I don't wash my hands thoroughly and touch my
eyes, they burn and swell up. That's real, not psychosomatic.
Same thing happens with some flake foods.
Best,
George
