What should I do if I think I have a fruit allergy?

The answer

Stop eating the suspected fruit and speak with an allergist or doctor, who can advise on testing and safe choices. Several tropical fruits are associated with reactions in some people, certain fruits share allergens with latex, and stone fruit can cause itching or swelling of the mouth in people sensitive to certain pollens.
