Allergic to fruit...

Now i know I'm not the only one who doesnt drink all day!! Is anyone else allergic to apples/fruit?
I never used to be, and am gutted because I love apples!! If I eat an apple my throat swells and itches like mad - inside and out and my gums itch as well. It's the same with pears etc but not bananas/kiwis/grapes/oranges - they're all fine!!
I can drink apple juice or eat apple pies - just not actual apples!!

Does sound like it might be oral allergy syndrome - what other fruits are you allergic to?

um - pears, little bit strawberries, apples are the worst - but most others are fine that i can think of - i'm not sure about peaches etc i just try to avoid most fruits these days - except bananas lol

Xmashamper - you're right about Google. What is the world coming too when you can't even rely on the internet for a bit of honest smut. Tsk. Angry

Bananas are a herb apparently(!), so are unlikely to cause the same reaction (but people can be very allergic to them).

I used to wonder why people told you to eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away when eating one made me feel like I needed to see one! I was very little though!

I know Poo2 - the internet today, eh?!

Bananas are herbs, and I am the Queen of Sheba. You may all admire my crown. Except Zephyr as she is probably allergic.

On ZephyrstdayofXmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree. On ZeSecondayofXmas I sent the bloody thing back as it made my mouth itch.
