I had never heard of it until today, but I definately have it. When I eat certain raw fruits or vegitables my throat itches. Looking at some of the reaserch I think I am allergic to allot more of them than I thought. Like when I cut up raw potatoes my hands itch and I have to make sure not to touch my face until after I wash my hands. I had never really thought of it as an allergy, but I guess it is. I have always had very bad hayfever, which is what causes OAS. When I was younger I thought everyones troat itched when they ate certain veggies and I just didn't like them. But what I am currious about is if anyone else who has this has found that if they drink milk with or put ranch dressing on the fruit/vegies, if that helps prevent the reacion, atleast the more mild ones. From what I have read it makes sense, the reaction is in the mucous and milk coats your throat. But I am just wondering if this is true for anyone else. I haven't found any reaserch on it, but I know it is true for me. Like if I eat a bananna my throat will itch, but if I drink a glass of milk with it I'm fine. I'm sure it still itches a little in between drinks, but I can enjoy eating it.
