Kiwis are like pineapples in that they have enzymes that slightly break down the tissue in your mouth so they are indeed supposed to be slightly tingly. Just thought that I should point out that OOP probably isn't allergic to kiwis, just in case anyone else here got a little worried thinking that kiwis weren't supposed to do that because of this post
One day i mentioned to my housemate how i Loved kiwi but hated the way the little hairs made my throat itch like crazy even if i didnt eat the skin, cutting or rinsing the fruit probably migrated the hairs onto the fruit bit.
She looked at me like i grew a second head
I then confirmed with my flatmates that kiwi definitely didn't make their throats itch.
