Well, I was never crazy about seafood, and I have just figured out that I am allergic to some fish foods. I have had two periods in the last 5 years when I developed severe rhinitis with eye itching, tearing and redness. The last one was about 4 years ago, when I had a fish tank running that had fish requiring frozen blood worms. I might have had some tubifex worms around also. Last week, after bringing some freeze dried tubifex worms home and giving them to my fish, the symptoms started again.
I have never had allergy symptoms other than those two times. My symptoms resolved completely over a month or so after a move when I did not set the tanks back up, and returned now that I have had contact with the tubifex worms.
I suppose I will have to use gloves when handling the worms from now on.
