Wow!  This list always amazes me with the information it provides and the wide
range of people's background's, knowledge and experience....

My wife is allergic to shellfish.  She can eat shrimp but sometimes she gets
hives.  Many times she will take Benadryl before eating as a prophalactic.  She
has never had any serious symptoms but maybe she should just stop eating shrimp.
Or better yet she can order 'em and I can eat 'em!  8-)
