Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC

I have a histamine reaction to bananas. I got prick-tested for them at my allergist when I was 19. I have to avoid them at all costs or else I may develop an allergy to avacados and latex. Latex allergies can be so severe that patients die on the operating table due to exposure from latex gloves. I also avoid condoms for this reason-- they make great sheepskin ones but they don't protect from AIDS, so girls be careful!

Bananas and banana-flavored stuff has always given me headaches and D (along with runny eyes and nose and itchy face!) so I avoid them like the plague. A peel in the trash or a coworker eating one will make my throat itchy and start a headache too! I tell everyone at work to get those things away from me, or at least close their office doors when they have one open. People can be really accomodating sometimes if you give them a chance!

Avacados give me major D so I always avoid them anyway.

Foods that make my mouth tingle/break out in sores include lemon, orange, tomato, banana, avacado, onion, peach, nectarines, vinegar, grape, lime, strawberry, pineapple, kiwi, and others... I have a list on my fridge that I took to college with me so my roommates would understand I couldn't eat their cooking. Everybody always saw it and said "WHO'S this Nelly?! She should be DEAD!"
