Shellfish allergy is very common and many people don't realise they have it until they get a full on attack.

True, but the most common shellfish allergies are to specific compounds or proteins. It's usually crustaceans too not mollusks. I genuinely think it is kind of stupid that most doctors don't inform people of this.

The kinds that would carry over to crickets are actually going fairly rare by my understanding.
