I thought iodine was the main allergen in shellfish.
I know they've had those bandages for a bit and are using them in Iraq, but I had no idea they were shrimp. That's both cool, and "damn, another way to denude the ocean."

What is even happening?
Well, given all the frozen and canned shellfish on the market, maybe it'll mostly just make more use of the creatures already being removed from the ocean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So which category would the gummi and chocolate bandaids I saw in the store yesterday fall under? Besides Ew.

Visigoths used gummi to heal battle wounds after the fall of the Roman empire.
