I really don't know. My SO is allergic to iodine, and that's how I learned
about it. The reaction seems fairly unpredictable, sometimes it happens, most
times not. He just eats very little shellfish, and when he does, hopes for the
best. When he does have a reaction, it seems that as soon as his body rids
itself of the fish (to put it delicately) he's fine. Any reaction usually
happens within about 6 to 8 hours after eating.

If anyone has more information about iodine allergies, I'd love to hear it!!
