Anybody out there know how to kick a shellfish allergy?

It wasn’t always this way. Stanley once got to taste the sweet, sweet morsels of shellfish. He says he’s picked a crab before, but not for a while.
“I’m Polynesian, so shellfish has always been part of my culture,” he said. “I used to eat all shellfish, but one day I just had a bad reaction. Now I can’t eat shrimp without getting sick.”
And crabs?
“I’ve had it and I don’t get sick, and I’ve had it and I feel a little sick,” he said.
You know what I like about this kid, though? He's willing to go for it anyway.
The day after being drafted, a fan asked him during a Twitter Q&A about the first thing he was going to do in Baltimore.
Get an epi pen before I try a crab cake. #askstanley https://t.co/BYTs8rciMy

Just in case that doesn't work out, Ruth’s Chris Steak House jumped on this opportunity and offered Stanley a 40-ounce tomahawk ribeye steak and dinner on the house.
And Stanley reacted exactly how I would.
OMG I'd love to https://t.co/dCyK3DKM0X
