How to get rid of my fruit allergies?

Why am I suddenly allergic to fruit?

  • i have eaten fruit all my childhood, i was never picky and ate at least one fruit a day but now, all of sudden, when i eat fruit, especially cherries, peaches and apples, my lips get really itchy and my throat feels weird i did some research and read that allergies can come up when your immune system has not been exposed to something because you live in a too-clean and germ-aphobe environment... that's the complete opposite to me, my mom always let me try new things and roll around in the grass and eat all types of fruit so why now?

  • Answer:

    Thats happened to me once with carrots...it turns out these organic carrots were grown next to maple trees and got some maple pollen on them and THATS what caused my allergic reaction...so now i wash them super well before i juice them up. Oh btw it was bc i had them raw..if i would of steamed them in my food nothing would of happened bc the high cooking temp would of broken down the pollen allergens.

What you have is called oral allergy syndrome. It is related to pollen allergies. Those fruits are related to birch trees. Do you ever get hay fever in the spring? You are probably also allergic to birch tree pollen.
