Best Answer

No, not in the usual sense. An allergy is a reaction to a stimulus that is by itself noxious to the body in some way. A word may bring about a conditioned response, but it is the conditioning that evokes the response and not the word itself. No words, independent of any conditioned responses to them, have the ability to bring about an allergic response.

Can a person be allergic to live crayfish that has not been ingested?

I think that might be possible. I mean, since some people who are allergic to peanuts, CAN get allergic reactions from the smell of the peanut. If someone is allergic to crayfish, they have a chance of getting allergic reactions from the smell of the crayfish. Although, to my knowledge, all I know is that this occurs to certain people. Not all. Depends how severe the symptoms is.
