Re: Brine shrimp eggs/bloodworm allergy
This happens to me also. My lining will swell so mluch it will stick out
where the lids close, real scientific description. I still handle the food
but wash hands immediatily afterward, after putting frozen bs in water, not
when im done feeding. If I start to get a reachtion i take benadryl. I
have no disire to experiment to find out if it is one brand or all frozen
foods, leave that to someone else.
