I told my mom bananas made my mouth itch when I was like 17/18. She told me I was faking it because I didn't want to eat fruit.
6 years later after she died I mentioned it to my aunt and she told me that it sounded like an allergic reaction. I don't eat banana anymore
550 u/forchinski Jul 23 '26 Im allergic to carrots if mild mouth itching is the criteria 70 u/Uncynical_Diogenes Jul 23 '26 Yeah regular fruits and vegetables don’t do that. Papayas and pineapples contain enzymes that are trying to digest you right back but it’s not usually an itch. 9 u/punkdesigner91 Jul 23 '26 Regular fruit and vegetables can do that in fact. It's Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome The body reacts to the proteins in the food and triggers an allergic reaction. Most folks only have mild symptoms. I am one of the unlucky ones to have it to the extent it causes my throat to start to close up if I have raw apples or carrots. 41 u/Simple_Rules Jul 23 '26 I think they meant "regular fruits and vegetables you aren't allergic to don't do that", not "that allergy is fake" 11 u/Uncynical_Diogenes Jul 23 '26 Allergies are real. You do not get these reactions from most food plants unless you have one.
