Allergy tests for Shrimps, Lobster

2020-11-21 22:23:47
Hi, is there any particular lab test that I can get done to check whether I am allergic to crustaceans like prawns, shrimp etc? My grandmother was allergic to shrimps and prawns and I have never had it. What kind of test would inform me about this?
