Someone eats sashimi, develops hives and breathing trouble within hours, tests positive for antibodies to a fish parasite, and is told to stop eating seafood. Not raw seafood. All of it, including broth.
New research from a Japanese allergy clinic suggests the advice is often wrong. Among 44 outpatients with Anisakis allergy, 86.4% tolerated cooked fish and 95.5% tolerated seafood broth without symptoms. The study comes from Showa Medical University and appears in Allergology International.
