Q: What is the difference between eating bad shrimp and an allergic reaction to shrimp.

I used to eat shrimp atleast 3 times a month with no problems or reactions.  Then one day, shortly after eating it, I started itching really bad.  That was about 10 years ago, I haven't eaten it since.  People have told me they think I just had a bad batch of shrimp.  How do I know the difference?
