hmm... scallops you say??   

Eh, sorry I can't add anything useful to this... I don't know.

I've actually felt the same sometimes from eating raw eggs and raw mahi mahi. Don't know why or if it's bad.

Hey yon, That's interesting as I too experienced a seemingly negative reaction to raw scallops when I first tried them a couple of months ago.  I have deliberately avoided them since!  It's a shame as I found them to be quite tasty and enjoyed the 'meaty' texture.  I'm not a big fish/seafood fan but do try to eat some for the EFA and trace mineral benefits.  Unfortunately, I also recall the scallops caused stomach upset for a few days too.

My own thoughts as to why this happened was that it was due to either parasites (and therefore a cleansing reaction or 'poisoning' depending upon which school of thought you believe) or toxic environmental pollutants.  Either way, I decided it was not a beneficial food for me.

so i've been researching this topic... it seems as though i had an allergic reaction to the scallops. the dizziness, disorientation, and just overall lack of mental clarity are symptoms of an allergic reaction to shellfish. that's weird. i've eaten cooked scallops before with no problem, but i think it was just the shear amount (half pound) that i ate that caused the problem. i guess i just have a very slight allergy to it. not gonna stop me from eating them though because they were probably the best RAF i've eaten! i'll just limit my intake to around .25 pounds.

ps: for those wondering, the effects wore off in about an hour and a half. i feel great today!

I have those same reactions when I eat too much fat. But scallops are almost 100% protein so I guess it must have been an allergic reaction. Glad it's over with, I know the feeling.
