|
Would that be a symptom of a mild allergic reaction?

2. Sounds like it could be. |
|
Might want to see a doctor about it before you eat another one.

In fact, I'd say it's likely. My oldest and youngest are allergic to bananas and that sounds like a mild version of their reaction.

4. Yes, that is an allergic reaction... |
|
I have the same thing for cantelope -- I have read that people who are allergic to ragweed can develop an allergy to catelope because they are related.
I could eat cantelope just fine until I developed hay fever to ragweed when I was 18.
You have to be very careful with that kind of allergic response because you can develope throat swelling and have breathing problems -- I don't eat melon anymore because of it. :(

I've never noticed the same sensation with strawberries.

7. yes. I can't eat cantaloupe at all. Honeydew OK, but not great |
|
watermelon no problems whatsoever. Try some different ones (but keep some benadryl handy).
My lips used to swell, too, though unevenly. Looked lovely.
