St Petersburg, Missouri From Chapter 1 of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, where Tom and Huck first meet: The summer evenings were long. It was not dark, yet. Presently Tom checked his whistle. A stranger was before him -- a boy a shade larger than himself. A new-comer of any age or either sex was an impressive curiosity in the poor little shabby village of St. Petersburg.
Shellfish allergy is an abnormal response by the body's immune system to proteins in certain marine animals. Shellfish include marine animals with shells, such as shrimp, crab, oysters and lobster, as well as octopus, squid and scallops. Some people with shellfish allergy react to all shellfish; others react to only certain kinds. Reactions range from mild symptoms â such as hives or a stuffy nose â to severe and even life-threatening. If you think you have a shellfish allergy, talk to your doctor.
Best Answer: You can, but eating any raw food contains some risk of illness. Besides bacteria born illness, shellfish can also contain toxins. As far as oysters are concerned, they usually are eaten raw on the half shell. They are packed on ice and are tested for contamination.
