Answer 2

Yes, it is called oral allergy syndrome. It is usually linked to pollen allergies. I used to be so allergic to watermelon that just getting the juice on my hands would make them break out in a rash. I also had severe pollen allergies. After going to an allergist and being on desensitation shots for five years, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetables went away.

Answer 3

It could be an allergy to specific kinds of fruits. Sometimes more acidic fruits can cause a burning feeling and then cause canker sores so that's another thing to watch out for. The main thing is just test out what fruit causes it and try to limit the amount you intake of that specific fruit.
