I have Oral Allergy Syndrome which means I'm allergic to certain fresh fruits and raw vegetables. Such as:
-Apples
-Pears
-Grapes
-Carrots
-Bananas
-I think Pineapple
and that's all that I can think of at the moment. But I still eat them :D My reaction to each of them is very different, so the ones I eat all the time (grapes) only cause my lips to slightly swell- I'll never have to buy a lip plumper again! But APPLES I DETEST! They cause my throat and gum to itch and if it touches my lips, that'll swell too. (You can probably guess which fruit I ate now)
The reactions generally do not last so long, just a couple of minutes because the protein I'm allergic to is quickly broken down by saliva. I don't notice the itching anymore and it gives me the greatest excuse to not eat my fruits and veggies (besides broccoli, I love broccoli! I know, I'm not a normal kid >.>)
See! In the minutes it took me to write this post, it's gone now :D
Oooh look, carrots! :DDDD
P.s This puts a serious pothole in my journey back to (semi)vegetarianism.

OMG, so starting sophomore year of high school I started becoming allergic to raw carrots...then I noticed it went on to raw pears, then some raw apples (organic ones work alright for me) and other things I can't remember...my mom didn't believe it because I've never been allergic to anything in my life. SO IT'S A REAL CONDITION??? lol...yikes. I thought I was the only one.
Dear oh dear, I'm terribly sorry for you! I never know about this medical condition. However, it does make a good excuse to not eat your veg & fruits.
Mariiam: It tastes soo good with ranch :D
PerplxinTexan: LOL, it's the goat meat which always puts me off track and the lasagna... and a whole bunch of other things. Ehh cantalope, never liked that or papayas D:
A'qilah: No not mangos thankfully! I love mangos! <3 Too much
Sarah Alaoui: I kinda diagnosed myself and apparently my mother also has this. SO NO YOU'RE NOT ALONE! :D
Hajar: Saying medical condition makes it sound way more scary than it really is, lol and yes, yes it does B) Too bad I love veggies.
