Has an oyster made me ill

Mollygo 😊💐

I never touch shellfish but I do like prawns and any other kind of fish.
My wife had a prawn curry on holiday, dramatically sick, thankfully shes pretty strong and recovered quickly back to normal in 24 hours

Sorry Grandmabatty I was being facetious.

GMB I think Mollygo was joking too. Tongue in cheek. Made me smile ☺️

Mollygo, eggs have protection! I was half joking. I dislike seafood completely

I have only fond memories of eating oysters.
We had them on Mersea Island at dawn with a lovely flute of cold champagne. 😊

Very apt alliteration ViceVersa 🤢

I won't eat anything that looks like it passed through a bird first 🤢

So that rules eggs out too?

I don't trust oysters so never eat them. Am I missing a treat?

No, not in my opinion. It's like eating slimy, salty snotters!

Quite! Horrible things.

After a miserable couple of days in a tent in Brittany many years ago, I've never touched another oyster, nor eaten any mussels. The rest of the family love their moules frites.

I do generally enjoy seafood and have never been ill. I read online oysters should be plump and juicy, the one I had was skinny, floppy and watery. It wasn’t nice to eat.
I am more or less ok now though but have learned my lesson and won’t repeat.

I’ve eaten them on the beach in Brittany with no after effects. Eating them in a well known restaurant, I wasn’t so lucky.

As mentioned before I stopped about 3 years ago

Ziggy and yet you continue to eat them

I ve never ever eaten an oyster and now I m a vegi I wouldn’t anyway but to swallow anything whole seems a waste of money to me

Lucky you, Grantanow

I've never been ill from eating oysters, raw or cooked.

You may be allergic, or it may have been a bacteria. Have you eaten other bivalve shellfish without issue?

I hope you feel better soon; what a terrible experience.

I definitely won't be trying them, Vice versa, after your brilliant description

Emporer’s ?

Oysters are definitely overrated, they make me think of the empowers new clothes.

Too late for me…. still not 100%.

I love oysters, especially the Sydney ones and the Coffin Bay ( South Australia) ones. Beautiful with lemon and black pepper. When we lived in Tasmania we used to collect them from a local estuary and pig out on dozens of them. Oysters Kilpatrick is nice if you don’t like them raw. If they smell, they are off, don’t touch them !

I sat next to a lovely young woman at the allergy clinic who had noticed that her throat became itchy after eating prawns. She had quite a few little pin pricks on her arm, prawns, crab lobster, oyster, etc. They were all becoming red and itchy, no more prawns for her, sadly she loved them!
