Am I allergic to pineapple?

If I'm allergic to pineapple, what else might I be allergic to?

• I haven't been to see a doctor about it, so I don't know exactly what it is in pineapple that I'm allergic to, but I was wondering if I should be wary of any other fruits. It's only fresh pineapple (cooked/canned is fine). I relatively recently developed the allergy, and the first time I noticed it, my throat felt funny. Then a few weeks later I had another piece of pineapple (about a 1 inch chunk) and I could feel my throat swelling a bit. I've avoided fresh pineapple ever since, because I'm afraid that next time my throat will swell completely shut. So yes. Are there any other foods I should be cautious about? Thanks!

• Answer:

  Um you should see an allergist specialist right away. Although pineapple is a pretty unique fruit other tropical fruits contain similar juices that could be what's making you break out. Also a doctor can give you an epi pen. In case your throat next time swells shut and you can't breath. You should not ignore this. Suddenly developing an allergy does happen but its not very common. Could be you are not allergic to pineapple at all but the pesticides and preservatives sprayed on the fresh fruit to keep it fresh longer.
