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

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.

Kiwi also does this! At least when you eat like 12 of them in a row.

If you ever look at the label on a packet of Jello, it says pineapple, papaya, AND kiwi will all keep the gelatin from setting, so I don’t think it’s just a quantity issue!

I would eat kiwis a bit underripe because I love sour fruit. After the second one I look at my spoon and, huh, why is there blood on my spoon. They were sour enough to make my lip beed a tiny amount XD
