One of the first questions I was asked preceding a CT procedure was "Do you have any shellfish allergies?" - Do as Don as says.

Hmmm, I wasn't asked that. Was only asked if I had problems with the dye. I said no because it was used during a ophthalmologist's office scan for AMD. What was injected for that was a very small volume tho. I've always had problems eating fish. Okay, I'll probably survive.
