Well, that was probably my problem -- I used to love blue mussels. Lots of garlic and wine. First time I got sick, I thought it was a bad mussel. Second time I got sick, I thought I'd gotten a bad marinated mussel. Third time...

Well, if I HAVE to be allergic to some kind of seafood, I guess I can live with a mussel allergy. If it had been oysters, or shrimp, or lobster, or scallops, it would have been very, ver\y disappointing.
