Eating shrimp shells: good, bad or neutral?

[Guest guest]

I only did it because I was so hungry I just dumped the shrimp into the pan

and cooked them without thinking -- and was then too hungry to mess around

peeling them afterwards. They were wild shrimp, so I figure pollution is

at least less of an issue, and I didn't eat the tails. I figure they're

basically just a starch and protein matrix, so they ought to be perfectly

OK, right? Or am I in for bleeding, punctured intestines or some exotic

kind of poisoning? <g>

a-hahahahaha! I've done it, too, for the same reason. No problem

for me, and I have low HCI. Write us in the morning though, k?

Ah, good, I didn't think there'd be any problem. Anyway, several hours

later I haven't keeled over dead yet.
