It's important for individuals with shellfish allergies to avoid all types of shellfish and to be aware of potential cross-reactivity. Additionally, they should carefully read food labels, ask about ingredients in restaurants, and carry epinephrine (such as an EpiPen) in case of accidental exposure and a severe allergic reaction. If you suspect you have a shellfish allergy, it's essential to consult an allergist for proper diagnosis and management. Dr. Jones and Dr. Khan are both board certified
