avacados = death

[kimiko]

anyone else ever have a major allergic reaction to certain foods? for example, whenever i eat avacados i have a really hard time breathing (im serious!)...and if i even touch a avacado i get all itchy...then there are eggplants...oh my gosh...if i eat eggplant my heart will start beating all crazy...it gets so bad i swear im gonna die...

there are only a few people i know of who have food allergies (that can sometimes send them to the hospital) but the thing is that they are all asian (and they all arent related to me)...the strange thing is that two are allergic to seafood of all things...is this just coincidence? anyone experience something like this? or maybe im the only one at YW who cant go anywhere near an avacado :cry:

I don't have any allergies that I know of. However, I don't like the taste of seafood (except seaweed if you count that). I used to snack on seawood all the time.

I'm allergic to cheap chocolate, makes me cough. I think it's the preservatives or something. Certain kinds of water make me cough also. Dunno about that one tho.

:confused:

SOME certain types of coconuts makes my skin all itchy and red bumps break out and become bigger. But it only happened to me once. :D

I think a large percentage of YW members may have a milk/lactose allergy. There may have been a older (few months ago) thread on the issue.

Alcohol makes my face red! And I mean RED! How friggin' embarassing! :blush: But as far as avocadoes go, I'm not aware of any allergic reaction. I eat one everyday. :rolleyes:

I love avocados.

I still eat the foods I'm allergic to, helps me tolerate them. I get weird bumps (very temporarity) on my tongue and have difficulty swallowing after eating kiwis (still eat them anyways). My mouth and tongue swells and itches after eating crab -- but it really helps to suck on a lemon -- stop my itching almost immediately, wonder why...

My boyfriend (Chinese also) needs to go to the emergency room after a nite of seafood (doesn't stop him, once ate a 4 lb kona crab and dungeness crab in one sitting). Any types of crustaceans and shellfish makes his stomach cramp severely -- still he forges on (eats my leftovers, too). Why are guys like that?

raw carrots make my throat itch like crazy.

i can't imagine being allergic to avocados...

one of my sister's friend's brother is allergic to mangos, which he absolutely adores.
so he'll eat a whole box in one sitting once in awhile, milk it for all it's worth.

i understand...

Prolly the juice from the lemon neutralizes the enzymes from your crab. And for your second question-- I don't know?

No. But I know a kid who almost died from touching peanuts.
