Is this true? Are you allergic to apples?

People's love for fruit is obvious to all, because it is not only rich in vitamins, but also will not make you fat after eating it. Therefore, it is widely popular among women. Some even say that it is a good medicine for weight loss. These alone are enough to establish its important position. But have you heard that you can also be allergic to fruits? This is so scary! Can we still eat apples casually like this? Let’s discuss this below!

Now is the time when fruits are the most abundant and most abundant. Mangoes, pineapples, watermelons, lychees, longans, mangosteens, cherries, etc. are all available. It is a good time to enjoy fruits. However, when people are enjoying all kinds of delicious fruits, they don’t expect that allergic reactions will follow. The most common fruits allergic to are mangoes and pineapples. After eating these fruits, many people often experience redness, swelling, itching, and even a small rash around their mouths. Some people also experience symptoms such as numbness of the lips and itchy throat.

There is a certain correspondence between fruit allergy and pollen allergy. People who are allergic to birch pollen are more likely to be allergic to peaches, apples, cherries, kiwis and mangoes. People who are allergic to mugwort are prone to be allergic to mangoes. People who are allergic to rice pollen should not eat cantaloupe, watermelon, kiwi and orange. People who are allergic to pigweed should not eat cantaloupe, watermelon and bananas. People who are allergic to pollen and natural rubber often have allergies to chestnuts, pears, kiwis and bananas.

A domestic study also showed that among patients who are allergic to dust, about 20% are also allergic to fruit. Doctors believe that fruits that have grown in poor conditions and have been sprayed with pesticides can trigger allergic reactions in the human body.

Abdominal pain and diarrhea are also symptoms of allergies

We usually think that allergies are manifested by symptoms such as itchy, red, swollen skin, rash, coughing, sneezing, etc. In fact, diarrhea and abdominal pain are also manifestations of allergies. Xiong Chunping introduced that there was once a lady who would suffer from abdominal pain every time she ate tomatoes, whether they were raw or cooked, but there were no symptoms on the skin. She used to think that abdominal pain was caused by eating unclean food. Later, she tried cooking tomatoes at home very hygienically, but the same situation still occurred, which attracted her attention. In fact, it was tomatoes that caused her intestinal allergy, and the abdominal pain was an allergic reaction of her intestines to this food.

Children may also experience allergic intestinal reactions.

Food allergies not only cause redness, swelling, itching of the skin, rashes, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, but can also cause asthma, especially in children. Food allergies are often one of the main causes of allergic asthma. Children under the age of 3 are very likely to develop food allergies. As they grow older, their tolerance gradually increases and food allergies gradually decrease.

Many tropical fruits contain a chemical that can irritate the skin and cause dermatitis. Mangoes, in particular, contain fruit acid, amino acids, various proteins and other substances that irritate the skin. In addition, unripe mangoes contain tannic acid, which can also irritate the skin.

It seems that some people do suffer from allergies after eating apples. We should take this kind of allergy seriously instead of ignoring it. Don't miss a small diarrhea or stomachache, because it is also a kind of allergy. We must pay attention to the phenomenon of fruit allergy, because it can cause immeasurable harm to people. We should not be too sad if we are allergic to fruits, because we are not allergic to all fruits.
