Background: Prawns and shrimp are a frequent cause of seafood allergy mediated by IgE antibodies. Penaeus monodon and Penaeus latisulcatus, commonly known as black tiger prawn and king prawn, respectively, are among the most frequently consumed prawns in Malaysia.
If you have a family history of food allergies, your chance of developing a shellfish allergy is much greater than if neither of your parents is allergic to any foods. Your allergic reaction to shellfish is the result of your immune system misidentifying shellfish proteins as dangerous substances. When you consume a shellfish allergen, your body releases antibodies, which in turn release chemicals that cause a variety of allergic symptoms.
