How to avoid lobster allergies

1. It is best to freeze it first and then pour some light salt water. Dip it in more vinegar when eating and chew slowly. The enzymes in saliva can slow down the absorption of allergens in the gastrointestinal tract.

2. For people with poor intestinal immune function, do not be greedy for fresh food and cook it thoroughly before eating.

3. It is not advisable to drink beer when eating lobster. Drinking large amounts of beer while eating lobster can produce excessive uric acid, which can form uric acid crystals in the joints and worsen arthritis symptoms.

4. Lobster should not be eaten with certain fruits. The calcium in seafood combines with tannic acid to form a new, indigestible substance. Fruits that contain more tannins include persimmons, grapes, pomegranates, hawthorns, green fruits, etc.

5. Do not eat shrimps with vitamin C. Arsenic, which is usually harmless to the human body, can be converted into toxic arsenic under the action of vitamin C.

6. When eating lobsters, be careful not to buy dead lobsters. Also note that it is not advisable to swim immediately after eating lobster. You can take Omink when eating lobster to prevent allergies.
