I love shellfish. I know many people suffer from life threatening allergies if they eat shellfish. Are you familiar with this?
I am! My boss was allergic to shellfish. He could not eat molluscs, crustaceans, or echinoderms, so a lot of seafood was dangerous for him.
What happens to him if he eats shellfish? What happens to a person if they suffer an allergic reaction to shellfish?
He had it bad so it would make him vomit and give him hives. Do you like shellfish? Are you able to eat it?
Yes, I love shellfish and I have no allergies. I understand it can be life threatening if you suffer from an allergy.
Definitely scary. Do you have a favorite shellfish to eat? Like oysters or clams or octopus or lobster?
I love LOBSTER! I also enjoy shrimp. I will not be eating octopus however! lol

Molluscs include cephalopods (squids, octopuses, cuttlefish) and bivalves (clams, oysters), as well as gastropods (aquatic species such as whelks and winkles; land species such as snails and slugs).
Molluscs used as a food source by humans include
List of types of seafood
The following is a list of types of seafood. Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. It prominently includes fish, shellfish, and roe.

Edible sea plants, such as some seaweeds and microalgae, are widely eaten as seafood around the world, especially in Asia
