I have only now in my late 40's become allergic to fish. I realize that everyone is different, but would like to hear from others who may also be allergic. I know that I cannot eat fish or come in contact with raw fish. One of my concerns is that my husband goes to Alaska annually and comes back with 100 lbs of king salmon and halibut. If I wear gloves and a mask, would I be able to at least prepare the fish for him. I have handled the frozen fish with no outbreak, but when I helped him to pack the partially thawed fish into the freezer, I had an oubreak. Since I have only discovered my allergies, I am just learning what I can and cannot do, but each time that I have a reaction, it seems to hit me harder. With your help I can possibly avoid the uncertainty and another outbreak.
Answer:
I am very allergic to fresh water fish. I can't breath if I even smell the fumes from fish cooking. If my husband would even wipe his hands on a towel and then I used it I would swell up. The other night we were at an outdoor festival and there was a tent cooking walleye and I could feel it in my throat. My allergist told me that reactions do get worse everytime you have one. The gloves and a mask might work if thrown away but if you are cooking in the house that may also bother you.
I'd try and get to see a qualified homeopath before you expose yourself again. I know people who have been helped enormously with some quite debilitating reactions to allergens.
Read about it here and find a reputable practitioner - by referral if you can.
