Watermelon, followed by honeydew. I won't eat cantaloupe and haven't since I got sick from eating it in 2011...bought a big beautiful Athena cantaloupe and had about 3 slices and started getting sick, believe it was Listeria.

Maybe allergic reaction? I know someone allergic to kiwi.

@MrBrownstone: No, not an allergy. It was a gastro-intestinal problem and I rarely get anything like that. The rind of cantaloupes is where they got penicillin, the rind is very suitable medium for organisms from dirt to grow on.
