Oral Allergy Syndrome

As I entered my 20's, I realized I couldn't eat certain fruits and vegetables because they made my mouth itch and I wanted to throw up. This doesn't happen with all, mainly avacado's, banana's, melon's (cantaloupe, honeydew), kiwi's, carrots... I just don't eat these anymore so I don't have to deal with the side effects. It all makes sense now because I do have seasonal allergies! The weird thing is, I never had this problem until a couple of years ago- I was able to eat these foods when I was younger.




Here is the article I found:
