Answer 1

I used to be like bluesgirl1987. I was allergic to almost all raw fruits and vegetables. Just getting the juice on my skin would make me break out. I went to an allergist and had desensitation shots for my pollen allergies. After being on shots for five years, my allergy to raw fruits and vegetables went away! Do you have hayfever too?

Answer 2

I have the same allergies except it extends into any fresh fruit or vegetable. I went to an allergist and the suggested allergy shots to attempt to get rid of my allergies. Of course my allergy is more severe, so there may be an easier way for you. I have found that my emergency inhaler (Albutoral) works well to reduce the itchiness and swelling in my throat to some extent. So try going to an allergist or to a general doctor and see if you can try an inhaler or something like that.

Go to an allergy specialist and ask if they have desensitizing shots for what you are allergic to.

I do the same thing with lipstick and now I am allergic to the sun where my face swells and I get multiple sores on my lips and my lips double in size. I like your allergies better. I have lot of food allergies too. Good luck.

My sister has the same reactions. She just has to limit her intake, but the Benadryl pill is used for allergic reactions. She takes one when she starts getting the symptoms.
