Fruit Allergy

Fruit allergy is a type of food allergy where the body's immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in certain fruits as harmful. This can trigger an allergic reaction, which might include symptoms like itching, swelling, or gastrointestinal issues after eating the fruit. Common culprits include apples, peaches, and kiwis. Some individuals may also experience cross-reactivity, where they react to fruit due to allergies to pollen from trees or grasses. If someone suspects a fruit allergy, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
