Report Seafood Allergy Warning: Near-Fatal Experience Highlights Risks
Image composite ourtesy of MGR online A heartfelt warning about the dangers of severe seafood allergies has been shared on Facebook by Chayutpol Sukkaew, after a near-fatal incident at a restaurant. Chayutpol, who suffers from anaphylaxis, recounted how he experienced a life-threatening allergic reaction despite informing restaurant staff about his shrimp allergy. Unfortunately, he was served dishes containing shrimp-based ingredients like shrimp paste, known as kapi in Thai. After eating a squid dish cooked with shrimp paste, he immediately experienced symptoms, with his heart rate soaring. Thankfully, he had an adrenaline injection prescribed by his doctor, which he used to prevent a fatal reaction. A doctor relative’s quick actions also ensured he was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. While frustrated with the restaurant’s oversight, Chayutpol does not seek compensation. Instead, he hopes his story will serve as a cautionary tale for others with food allergies. He urged restaurants to clearly label allergenic ingredients and train staff about allergy risks. He also advised those with allergies to carry emergency medication and never assume safety when dining out. The post has sparked widespread reactions. Many expressed anger over some Thai restaurants’ lack of understanding of food allergies, while others wished Chayutpol a speedy recovery. Comments stressed the importance of specifically asking about shrimp or shrimp paste in dishes, as staff might not realise kapi contains shrimp. Some were surprised to learn that the squid dish included shrimp paste, noting that recipes can vary and diners should remain cautious. Chayutpol concluded with an apology to anyone who may have been offended, expressing a sincere hope to raise awareness and prevent similar incidents in the future.
