Allergies to fish are often lifelong, and their symptoms include asthma, nose allergies, allergic dermatitis, and migraines, and more likely to cause epilepsy or anaphylactic shock in severe cases. Salmon, cod, halibut, eel are common fish species that cause allergic reactions in consumers. Parvalbumin and gelatin are two major proteins known to induce fish allergy.
