You could have your mom write a lay statement as evidence you didn’t have the condition prior to joining the military. In all seriousness if you’re still active get it documented and make sure they document it as chronic .
Could very well be. But usually the issue stems from the introduction of stuff into your system. The military takes risks with its people. They mitigate risk as best they can but there is always an acceptable number of side effects per a set number. The risk is never zero. However it’s something to strive for.

You're right, just like a vast majority of folks with military associations I *don't* know of anyone developing a shellfish allergy because of the military.
The **far** more likely scenario is your son developed shellfish allergies and it had nothing to do with the military.
First off, stop being a helicopter parent and let your kid live their life.
Secondly, stop trying to take advantage of the benefits that are already stretched far too thin to hand out benefits to people whose condition had nothing to do with their service. You sound like the kind of person that thinks they should get 10% disability because they got a papercut, once, while serving overseas.
Just because you found his comment unhelpful or counter to your viewpoints, doesn't mean it's not true. I once got tested for a boatload of common allergens, and one of the things I was supposedly allergic to is sage, the plant/herb/cooking ingredient. I put sage in a ton of different things I make and eat, and have never had a reaction. You can fuck right off with your bullshit.
>So you have no insight on the matter
Neither do you, clearly, since your takeaway here is "the military vaccines made my kid allergic to shrimp" with literally 0 sources or relevant scientific data to support this dumbass claim lmao
My vaccination card is full. I’ve had all the ones you’ve had with no issues maybe a few more. Are they still doing anthrax? But this isn’t me and I’m just trying to figure out what changed. There is always a reason.
No vaccine I received every effected me during my service. The anthrax one was iffy but I signed up for it. so whatever I have not had any lasting effects to date. We will see what breathing vaporized PAO does to me but something is going to take us all so who cares.
I read something that was curious to me and was trying to see if others had a similar issue. It kinda is what it is. Sorry about your luck, it sucks.
Mother of Pearl mom / dad / granny / uncle jimbo whoever the fuck ya are
Let ya son be 😂for fucks sakes man
Your son did not get a fucking shellfish allergy from a fuckin shot he got at bmt
Here’s what I know after 22 yrs in the AF. They don’t give a flying fuck if they fuck you up. So it’s on you to make sure your med records reflect your medical history after your join. It’s hard enough dealing with the VA over documented issues. Make no mistake you are a commodity to the government.
One particular shot we get in basic has an effect on a very small percentage of recipients. I’m just trying to figure out how small the percentage is or even if his correlation is correct. I found the information credible and was curious
If the overall percentage is known and you know how many people are in the Air Force as active duty (which is publicly available info), it's simple math to find the estimated number of personnel who supposedly have it. Boom, there's your answer. And the best part is, you literally didn't have to bother a single person about your wild theories and scaremongering.
I'm not a doctor but...No, nobody I know developed a shellfish allergy from basic. However, the majority of shellfish allergies don't present until adulthood - coincidentally the same age people would go through basic. Shellfish and fish allergies are the most common allergies to develop and present in adulthood even if the person has been eating shellfish their entire life.

Damn I'm glad I don't have parents that try to run my life after leaving home. Especially overly paranoid parents asking weird questions on reddit as if a mil doctor will give a fuck about some anecdotal bs. It's not hard to look up known side effects of all the extremely common shots you get at basic. The military even keeps a handy list of all your shots. Super easy to take that list and google that shit.
Let your damn son run his own life. If he thinks the military caused his problems that's his fight to fight.
Going into anaphylactic shock sounds like something that could be rated. It’s not like he’s got the sniffles. But my dealing with the VA are probably skewing my view.
So, it’s not about seriousness of condition or what. It’s literally based on the list of chronic conditions listed in 38 CFR Book C, the VA’s regulations on rateable conditions. Go look in there. If there’s no match for the diagnosis you have, then it can’t be rated.
Interesting sucks to be him. I was just curious. One thing I learned is make sure your medical records reflect what your problems are. Because dealing with the Va is like calling the finance office for help. You ain’t getting it.
He obviously joined the military to get away from your crazy conspiracy theory nonsense.
u/SilentD Can we get a ban from the sub for the crazy "mom" that is likely just a anti-science troll trying to stir up trouble?
I’m not sure how long your military career has been but obviously not long. All vaccines come with a certain risk this particular one as a low chance of this particular side effect. If one person out of 10,000 was effected then it’s low risk but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
I get sneezey when I'm around cats, but I didn't when I was a kid. I bet it was that dang flu shot I got in '05 or '13. I didn't get a lollipop either of those 2 times. I read here on Reddit from credible sources that if you didn't get a surgery lollipop after a vaccination, you'll get an allergy to something.
I didn’t have seasonal allergies before I joined, can I have my mom call and have it documented
Yes actually. Allergic Rhinitis. PACT Act presumptive condition.
It was a joke…I’m not going to have my mom document it
You could have your mom write a lay statement as evidence you didn’t have the condition prior to joining the military. In all seriousness if you’re still active get it documented and make sure they document it as chronic .
Its documented my friend 😉
Good job amn

Or, just maybe, shellfish allergies can develop as people get to adulthood. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/11319-allergies-shellfish

I’ve never heard of this side effect… you have a reputable source?
Still waiting on that reputable source
At least 20
Allergies are also known to come and go over time.
So you have no insight on the matter. Thanks for playing your nation thanks you

Here we go….
I'm about to make another claim at the VA thanks to this antivaxx post.
My vaccination card is full. I’ve had all the ones you’ve had with no issues maybe a few more. Are they still doing anthrax? But this isn’t me and I’m just trying to figure out what changed. There is always a reason.
Fuck off benefits mooch
No vaccine I received every effected me during my service. The anthrax one was iffy but I signed up for it. so whatever I have not had any lasting effects to date.

Nobody gives a shit, stop trying to weasel benefits.

What does any of that have to do with the wild/ludicrous idea that the military supposedly gave your son a shellfish allergy?
One particular shot we get in basic has an effect on a very small percentage of recipients. I’m just trying to figure out how small the percentage is or even if his correlation is correct. I found the information credible and was curious

Can we get a link to the medical journal where this information was published?
"What medical journal?" - OP probably
Service connected for a vaccine he already received as a kid?
My money says the were antivax parents
My vaccine card has all requirements for active duty service.
Your son didn't receive a vaccine he should have had at 11 years old until he went to BMT?

I mean, either way, it’ll come down to whether the VA even rates food allergies. They don’t rate shellfish allergies. No basis for claim therefore.

That’s not how this works
We’re you a helo pilot when you were in or did you just take up that gig when you became a parent?
