Celebrities with Food Allergies

Seafood allergy sends Sonu Nigam to the ICU

Sonu Nigam was admitted to the ICU of a hospital for a swollen eye, but that was not because he got into a brawl with somebody.

it was the seafood!

It seems Sonu loves seafood but is also allergic to it.

A seafood allergy sent him to the ICU of Nanavati Hospital. Sonu shared a couple of pictures from the hospital showing the swelling in his eyes.

“Thanks for your concern and love. Now that you know that I am returning back from Jeypore Orissa after managing a concert last night, I now don’t mind sharing how I was the day before yesterday. Lesson for all of us, Never ever ever ever take a chance with allergies. Seafood in my case. If Nanavati Hospital wasn’t nearby, my trachea would have swollen up further and lead to asphyxiation. Happy and Healthy life to everyone. (Sic),” wrote Sonu Nigam.

A similar thing had happened to a friend of mine who had gone to Goa. He tried a new seafood dish and after the meal (an hour later), his entire face had swollen.

So if you are a seafood lover, make sure you know what suits your body.
