    One of my best friends has a mild shellfish allergy. He swells up and turns red, but it’s not bad enough to require an EpiPen. On multiple occasions, I have seen him go nuts at a shellfish buffet until he balloons up and looks like a tomato, then he pops a Benadryl and sleeps it off.

    Personally, I hate shellfish. Especially the smell of it. So I lie to people and tell them I am allergic, so they shut the fuck up about getting me to try it.

      Shellfish are quite happy you hate them and leave them be.
