yes, i was astounded to learn that you can develop an allergy at any time in your life. i wasn't allergic to anything (except bees, maybe) when i was a child. it only really started around 15 years ago i think (can't be sure, since for a long time i misidentified the symptoms, since it never occurred to me i might have developped an allergy).
actually patricia, you should consider yourself lucky ; if you *must* develop an allergy, at least you had the good sense to choose something as creepy and revolting as shrimp, and also easily avoided.
(i'm allergic to prawns and shrimp as well. it's psycho-somatic)
