Bananas sometimes make my lips and throat itch?!
Question: This reaction only lasts about 10 minutes. I am not prone to food allergies so I wonder what causes this?

yes you definitely have OAS (Oral Allergy syndrome) I have it too. It is said to be connected with pollen, tree, or "seasonal allergens" I also have trouble with carrots, apples, oranges, pears pretty much any other UNCOOKED fruit or veggie. I have since been getting allergy shots and they have helped so much! It turns out to be no big deal, a daily antihistamine like Zyrtec or Claritin or even Benadryl (but it will probably make you Zzzzz...) can help lower the severity of the reaction. Try contacting an allergist in your area, sometimes your regualr M.D. can help with this problem too!
I hope you do better!

Maybe you just have a slight allergy to them
yeah it sounds like your allergic to them. you can keep them in the house but don't eat them anymore! it almost sounds like the beginnings of an anaphylactic reaction. ask your doctor about it next time your there but as long as you don't keep eating them you'll be fine.
Wow, I can't even answer because the question is turning me on just thinking about it! lol
yerrr allergic
Even if you are mildly allergic now. The reaction to them can become more pronounced and serious over time. Unless you can't live without them I wouldn't risk continuing to eat them.
I'm like that with apples... well red apples more specifically and dark cherries. Lol.
Weird right?
I choose not to eat red apples and dark cherries since they make my throat itch; if it makes you really uncomfortable I would stop all together but if you're ok with eating it go for it I guess.
I'm NO doctor though so I my answer isn't in stone. =]
I've had the allergy all 14 (15 in a week and 4 days) years of my life and it hasn't gotten any worse, but that could be because I don't eat them often.
If this is only sometimes, it may be an allergic reaction, or sometimes it can be angels syndrome which is a reaction that sometimes rears its ugly head when people are stressed or busy or anxious in any way. A months course of anti hystamines puts this in check
it sounds like your allergic and even though it only lasts 10 mins it isnt good for your body. Some allergies will slowly go away so i would advice you not to eat them but it might go away in time
This happens to people I know and me too. They also make my stomach hurt. I think it is a slight allergy. Try having banana bread nor muffin. For some reason they do not make my stomach hurt. Talk to your Dr. about it. I don't think that it is a big deal so don't go and make a separate appointment unless it is really bothering you. Hope this helps! : )
dude that happened to me but with shrimp
lol you should stop eating them
b/c it gets ugly if you get an allergic reaction
you face puffs up like a balloon iwth little balloons on your ballooned face and you get all itchy.
