Urticaria (Hives)
Urticaria, or hives, is a common symptom of meat allergy. These are red, itchy welts of varying size and shape that appear on the skin. They may appear and fade repeatedly as the reaction runs its course.
Angioedema
Angioedema is an allergic reaction similar to urticaria, but the swelling occurs beneath the skin instead of on the surface. It is often characterized by deep swelling around the eyes and lips and sometimes of the genitals, hands, and feet.
Gastrointestinal symptoms
People with meat allergies may also experience various gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. These symptoms usually occur a few hours after consuming meat.
Anaphylaxis
One of the more severe reactions to meat allergies, anaphylaxis, is a potentially life-threatening reaction that requires immediate medical intervention. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and loss of consciousness.
Respiratory Symptoms
Those with meat allergies may also experience respiratory symptoms, including wheezing, shortness of breath, throat tightness, and coughing. These symptoms typically appear within a few hours after consuming meat.
Skin Reactions
Redness, itching, or swelling of the skin are other common symptoms of a meat allergy. These symptoms may appear anywhere on the body and often spread quickly.
