Maybe... don't take the risk? If you wanna know how allergic you are, there are tests for that.

Don't play with fire, friend. Fake crab isn't worth dying for.

Have you considered immune tolerance therapy for your allergies or does it not apply in your case?

Flat-out lacking evidence & ignoring immunology, shitty guidelines in the UK & US to avoid exposure pretty much proliferated severe allergies uncommon elsewhere in the world. The peanut allergy study is only one example. For some allergies, there are therapies to safely reintroduce exposure & rebuild tolerance.

Wait. There's crab in immitation crab meat? I though it was just some variety of white fish or something.

Allergists can work magic now with micro dosing. My kid's peanut allergy is just gone.

If you have the means and the desire, it's called LDA (low dose allergen) therapy. It's sometimes also called SLIT (sub-lingual immuno therapy). There's probably differences. I'm not a doctor.

I'm probably wrong, but maybe microdosing could help you not die from 5% crab. But you gotta do it with a doctor, and it can be expensive. On the upside, you could get so sick of eating crab that you won't need to worry about your allergy again.

Haha I saw that post and your comment on it, lemmy really is a small world

My brother built tolerance to shellfish overtime, never had a severe reaction though, maybe that could explain it.
