What usually causes an allergic reaction from seafood is iodine. Iodine evaporates/ oxidizes when burned so it goes to the air and then you smell it therefore goes into you setting off an allergic reaction.

You may have an Iodine allergy. Wich happens to be all up in shell fish and different seafoods. You my want consult a doctior and get an allergy test done to know for sure. Good Luck!!
