According to Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE), approximately 33 million Americans are affected by food allergies, with shellfish being the most common allergen.
Shellfish allergies often begin in adulthood and can lead to severe reactions like anaphylaxis; 60% of cases appear around age 28, emphasizing the need for caution.
About 6.6 million Americans are allergic to fish; studies show that if one is allergic to one fish type, they are likely allergic to others due to shared proteins.
Peanut allergy affects about 1-2% of the U.S. population and while severe, around 22% of individuals may outgrow this allergy by age 20.
