  If true I can respect it. Shellfish is a common allergy and I can imagine the same for arthropods.

    If you’re allergic to shellfish, there’s a high chance that you’re also allergic to insects

        I’m legitimately curious- why do you think the above claim is bullshit? To me, the fact that both shellfish and insect carapaces are made of chitin makes it seem reasonable that they would trigger similar allergic reactions, but I wonder if that’s not the case?
