Is there a such thing as "chicken allergy"?My boyfriend claims to be allergic to chicken meat, but I have never heard of such a thing. In fact, I have read that chicken is one of the few foods known not to cause allergic reactions.
He claims this allergy developed suddenly in his mid-twenties and now will not go anywhere near chicken meat.
I am having a hard time believing he is allergic to chicken as I gave him a bite of soup containing chicken and he had no adverse reaction whatsoever.
Has anyone hear ever experienced a true (not simply food "sensitivities" or "intolerances") life-threatening anaphylactic allergic reaction to chicken meat?
Excuse me, Answer #4, but I think you really jumped the gun.
I did not ever say I fed him the soup deliberately or that I was "testing" his allergy. I did not know it had chicken in it and he asked me for a taste. This was before I even knew about his "chicken allergy'.
You need to stop jumping to conclusions and read things a little more carefully before you ruin someones question and start chastising them for "attempted murder".

many people develop allergies as adults from vaccinations, many of which are grown in eggs, or use albumin as a base. As the body targets the disease, it also targets the alien avian proteins.
Mine is now allergic to any type of soft-cooked eggs, but not to baked goods with eggs (the high temps destroy the protein's shape, which slips it by the immune system without triggering a reaction) hard cooked eggs can be hit or miss. It would not surprise me to know others are allergic to ANY type of avian proteins.
That said; deliberately feeding someone something you know they are allergic too, is CRIMINAL. Seriously, they don't treat it lightly anymore. You need to stop "testing" his allergy. Some allergies seem benign for the most part, but at ANY time, it could decide on it's own, for no reason- cause an anaphylactic reaction that kills him. Murder does not look good on a resume. He needs an epipen, too.
