That is a very good possibility. I'd recommend avoiding shellfish until you can get a medical test, so that you know for sure whether you have an allergy.

It’s possible that you are allergic to shrimp, but your doctor will have to confirm it.

Whenever I eat shrimp or lobster, my throat gets tingly. There isn't any pain, just a tingly sensation. Why is this?
user
Shrimp and lobster contain a chemical called histamine, which is why your throat gets tingly. Histamine is a chemical the body uses to fight infections, but when it's eaten in large quantities, it can cause allergic reactions.

So my throat being tingly could mean I have a shellfish allergy?
