Bananas
If you have a ragweed allergy, you would feel terrible after eating bananas or even touching them. Some people complain of having the symptoms while they are still eating the banana. The symptoms– which include irritation of the lips, mouth, or throat and swelling of any of these areas– are usually felt after handling or eating raw bananas. To avoid these symptoms, try cooking the bananas before eating. It helps alleviate such symptoms. However, if the symptoms repeat with cooked bananas, consider switching to a different food instead.
