I would just avoid the crab (most likely agent), and eat peanuts alone

incase you do. the crab could also be high in some nutrient seasonally

A note on Benedryl, if you buy the caps, you c an break them open
and pour the contents under your tongue for faster relief. I've
never had to do it for shellfish, but I've head to relieve my
fire ant allergies ASAP before the ambulance could arrive.

Under the tongue is the next best thing to intravenous and not
having an Epipen handy.

No, it doesn't taste very good, but it will numb up your tongue
so you won't taste it as much.

Thanks for the info. I just keep the liquid on hand since DS is
nut-allergic. That stuff tastes nasty, though!
