Killer Shrimp 킬러 새우
[Power Dialog]
Want to meet my friends and me at the fish market for dinner tonight?
Not to be a party pooper, but I'm allergic to shellfish.
Well, can you just eat snapper instead?
I wish it were that simple. If I even touch a shrimp or a crab or it touches my food, I'll have a reaction.
What will happen?
My throat will close and my face will swell up. Then I'll stop breathing and die if I don't get help immediately.
Sounds like you've been dealt a bad band. I never knew food allergies were so serious!
