    Oh sorry. Non native speaker here and learned a new phrase. I’m sure the chitin could have a protein structure causing allergic reactions to those who never got exposed to it when they were young

      No worries! I figured out its not chitin- who knew that mushrooms had that too??

      I thought you were saying you didn’t believe that there can be shared allergies between shellfish and insects, to which my brain said “wait, they’re made of the same thing”. For your reference, English speakers “call bullshit” on one another when they think someone is lying, hence my curiousity.
