Who would think that delicious fruit or vegetables could cause anyone any trouble?
I listed numerous food allergies but found out about a new one -- one I do not have. Allergies to some fruits and vegetables. I was sitting with my cousin and found out she was allergic to pineapple and experienced something similar to anaphylaxis when she ate it. I was surprised. I had heard of oral allergies before from other members of my family. The allergy was just a tickle in the throat once a raw piece of fruit or vegetable was eaten. The less ripe the fruit or vegetable the stronger the reaction. I did some research and found a good article explaining the effect fruits and vegetables can have on someone who has an allergy. Below is the link to the article.
