food allergy (like peanuts or shellfish), but a cross-reaction to a pollen
allergy. I suffer from it
and have a huge, long list of raw fruits
and vegetables that I react to. My symptoms are itching tongue, lips, throat, and inside of ears/back of throat....and if it's severe enough I wheeze, have an asthma attack, and occasionally get indigestion if I eat too much of the item.
But other symptoms (that I don't have) are a burning sensation in the mouth and lips.
