Default Allergies to Shellfish and Iodine

Does anyone else here have this, too??
I don't know what to eat and what can't I eat.

Last night, as you guys may have known, it was my brother's wedding! They started serving food at 7:30 so we were eating. They brought out this lobster with cheese or whatever you call it and it looked so delicious, I ate a little piece. Last year, I had gone to the allergy doctor and he informed me that I was allergic most to dustmites, and runner up was shellfish.
I ate the lobster anyway because I figured I have been eating shellfish (lobster, clams and mussels) forever and nothing happened. Sometimes when I eat crawfish, I get itchy but I stopped eating crawfish only.
Well, last night about 30 minutes after I ate the lobster.. my hands started itching, my face was swollen and I could feel my throat start to close up so they called the EMS for me.
I was in the ER for 2 1/2 hours! It costed me $1,200!
