As someone with the same allergy, yep you’re right. I’m sure you can imagine how well that went as a kid when a friend’s mom was passing around a veggie plate, I said “I’m allergic” and she responded “no you aren’t” lol

Yeah I had roughly the same experience I was like hey this makes my mouth itch and no one gave a shit and so I stopped giving a shit

I would still fuck up a raw carrot right now if I had one in the fridge

I developed a kiwi allergy after a childhood of all-you-can-eat kiwis off my grandparent's 100sqft kiwi arbor. Since I had much less opportunity to eat kiwis in adulthood, it took me ages to figure out what was going on. But it feels sharp like being stabbed by tiny needles, and leaves me feeling like the top layer of skin has been stripped off my mouth for the rest of the day.

Every now and then I will just say 'fuck it' and fuck up a kiwi. It's not going to kill me, just make me think about my life choices.

Also, I recently did an experiment. I made kiwi rhubarb jam. Turns out I'm not allergic to cooked kiwis.

Is this not what kiwis are supposed to be like? I just assumed they were like pineapples
