    Although cicadas and many other insects are edible and highly nutritious, it's important to note that people who have a known shellfish allergy, particularly to Crustaceans (🍤 , 🦀 , 🦞 , etc.) could potentially have an allergic reaction to eating cicadas as well. #BroodXpic.twitter.com/kQAi5cpslk

        The allergic reaction in sensitized people is due to two factors that insects share with crustaceans: 1) the chitin used to form insect exoskeletons is very similar to the chitin used in the exoskeletons of many Crustaceapic.twitter.com/mRIRIH5INj

        2) insects, as well as Crustacea both, include the proteins tropomyosin and arginine kinase, which are both known for invoking an allergic reaction in those with shellfish allergies.pic.twitter.com/GLmPfDS6NU
