I have a lot of skin reactions, especially to nickel (jean snaps, etc). Jewelry has to be at least 14K or I break out and sometimes even with that. I could never wear earrings.

Mags, my daughter always had issues (itching, swelling) with shrimp and crab. We started going to the gulf coast in the winter and found some seafood places that don't use some of the chemicals and she can eat those with no apparent reactions. Last year I brought back about 50 lbs.
However, this year, because of the oil spill, I'm scared to eat it. Bummer!
