Is there any risk for me to react to my cat eating seafood if I am allergic?

Question

I am allergic to seafood and I bought a new kind of food for my cat and I realized that it contained green mussels, I wonder if it is dangerous for me to touch it or if my cat licks me, can I react?

Hello, thank you for your question! It depends on the severity of your allergies... I would have suggested that you wash your hands immediately after handling the product, and ideally avoid letting the cat lick you, which is quite difficult, if not impossible. In order to put all the chances on your side, I suggest avoiding this product and getting another one, as a precaution. I hope I've been helpful, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask Tom Samaha, pharmacist
