why would a person be allergic to bananas in paticular?!
Question:
swelling and itching in mouth, throat and lips/toungue
Answers:
I don't think you can answer a "why" for this, but beware..there is a link between banana allergies and latex allergies.
Contact an allergist and get tested..allergic reaction, particularly in the mouth, throat, neck area can lead to serious consequences.
Other Answers:
You can become allegic to any food or anything at any time. If you are experiencing those symptoms, please see your health provider.
Bananas are high in potassium. Perhaps your body can't tolerate this mineral. Check with your doctor.
tango is right. why don't you consult a physician specializing in allergy
Potassium is the likely culprit. Someone I know is potassium-deficient and has to eat bananas every day to make up for it. You may have the opposite problem.
