An actual iodine allergy is extraordinarily rare. Some show signs of sensitivity to iodine with nausea, flushing, fever, or some labored breathing. In most cases, this sensitivity, particularly to injected iodine is labeled iodine allergy. This however, is something of a misnomer. Very few are actually allergic to iodine.

However, if one has a shellfish allergy, or any allergy for that matter, there is a slightly increased risk of “iodine allergy.” As compared to the person without an allergy to shellfish, people allergic to shellfish may show about a five percent greater chance of showing “iodine allergy” symptoms. However similar studies show that having any allergies increases the chance of being sensitive to iodine.
