So update on trying kiwi… I posted awhile ago I wasn’t sure I could have kiwi because of a severe pineapple allergy

I decided to try kiwi and um… it’s good but the hives and itchiness and feeling the need to “clear my throat” I’m experiencing says I shouldn’t have tried lol oopsies now I know

People allergic to pineapple often react to kiwi, as well as papaya, avocado, banana, and chestnuts.

They contain enzymes that break down protein (actinidin in kiwi, bromelain in pineapple) which can cause mouth irritation.

You may also be orally allergic to latex, because both fruits share protein structures with latex.

@MyNameIsHurl whenever something doesn’t go my way I’ll jokingly say I’m going to eat a pineapple 😂 I know I shouldn’t say that though lol

Don't try covering yourself in honey and rolling on a fire ant hill.
