*Health Issues>>>Allergies issues>>>Does crabmeat contain penicillin or something similar? |
Issue I had a bad reaction to crabmeat soup once. I was told it contains penicillin which I am allergic to. Best Tip No, crabmeat does not contain penicillin. Penicillin is derived from a type of fungus. Like other shellfish, crab does contain many chemical compounds that are known to be allergens. Some are common to shellfish and some are specific to crab. You may be allergic to one or the other. Your doctor can give you an allergy test to determine for sure. You also may have had a reaction to spoiled seafood. Sometimes people who eat spoiled seafood have a reaction similar to that of food allergic people. See your doctor; food allergies are dangerous, and it's not because of penicillin! Others check the label!!!! No, penicillin is extracted from a kind of fungus like the one that grows in bread, crab meat is high in phosphorus. No penicillin in there......there is a specific allergy to shellfish and the like. crabmeat and many types of shellfish contain iodine, which is usually the cause for any allergic reaction ... penicillin is not just extracted from rotten meat and bacteria, it actually goes through a very long chemical process before it becomes medicine. Crabmeat does not contain Penicillin. It has the values of different drugs. Read - Microbial groups most commonly isolated from crab meat were, in the order of predominance, Moraxella, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Arthrobacter, Micrococcus, Flavobacterium-Cytophaga, and Bacillus sp. Proteus, Staphylococcus, yeasts, Vibrio, and Lactobacillus sp. were found less frequently in some samples. Distribution patterns of microbial flora in crab meat revealed the presence of three classes of microorganisms. Microorganisms that originated from the raw crab and gained predominance by growth during refrigerated storage were Moraxella, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Flavobacterium-Cytophaga sp. |
