Yes, it might be that a kiwi gives you allergy symptoms on your feet but not mouth.
It might also be that something else has caused the reaction, especially if you are prone to allergies. I think this might be the case if the symptoms carry on for days after eating a kiwi.

Though there's always the possibility, I still lean more towards the answer being "no."
Considering you're well enough to ask this question, it's a clear indication that you aren't in Anaphylactic shock. If you were, you'd know it by now. http://mayoclinic.com/health/anaphylaxis/DS00009/DSECTION=2
You did not say how long the itching has been going on. Try taking Benadryl Allergy. http://www.pfizerch.com/product.aspx?id=247
In the mean time, try using a topical cream such as Goldbond. The stuff is absolutely incredible! http://goldbond.com/cream.asp
Because you said the reaction is on your feet, it makes me believe it may be Athlete's Foot. http://mayoclinic.com/health/athletes-foot/DS00317/DSECTION=2
Your symptoms and area of reaction meet the vital criteria for Athlete's Foot. Try using either Lotrimin cream or spray. http://lotrimin.com/
You can either spend money going to the doctor to confirm it, or you can play it safe and assume that it is and try to treat it. Even if a person doesn't have Athlete's Foot and gets treated for it, it won't hurt them. So this is why I say play it safe and just go purchase the remedy. If you choose to take this route, then while using the Lotrimin, try using the Goldbond Foot Powder at the same time. Just sprinkle the powder into your socks, shoes, and slippers. http://goldbond.com/foot.asp
I wish you the best and hope you feel better soon!

It could be the kiwi most of the time when you get a allergic reaction tio something the symptoms don't allways show up in the place you would most suspect it . I would go see a doctor though because I do not have a phd. LOL

If you think it is kiwis stop eating them and see if it goes away, but personally I would pay the doctor a visit, if only for peace of mind. Food allergies can affect any part of your body as the food is processed and runs around your body but this one does sound strange. Get it seen to, there are many infections that can affect your feet and most of them are contagious so get it seen to in case you have something that you can spread to other members of your family.

A good way to answer your own question is to quit eating kiwi and see if the symptoms go away

First of all quit eating the kiwi and see if it goes away. Changed any personal hygiene products or laundry detergent? If you have changed products in any of those areas...stop using it and see if that helps. It's a by guess by chance situation unless you seek medical advice.

Allergy symptoms can show up in very strange places. I suggest you don't eat any more kiwi. That's hard, I know: I've enjoyed them too.

Well what do you have to work with? Squeeze out about 4 to 5 lemons and dilute it with some water and drink. Quercitin with bromelain is also very good. Vitamin C do a flush. Or try taking a hot shower making sure you get the hot water on your arms. Or just pop a claritin D, Good luck
