2. People With Latex Allergy
People with latex allergy should be especially careful with avocado. This is because of something called latex-fruit syndrome. Some proteins in avocado are similar to proteins found in natural rubber latex, so the immune system may confuse one for the other. Allergy & Asthma Network explains that people with latex allergy may react to certain fruits and vegetables, and avocado is one of the commonly linked foods.
Other foods often linked with latex-fruit syndrome include banana, kiwi, chestnut, papaya, and sometimes tomato or passion fruit. Not everyone with latex allergy reacts to avocado, but anyone with a history of latex reactions should be cautious and ask a healthcare provider before eating it regularly.
3. People With Oral Allergy Syndrome
Some people experience itching, tingling, or swelling in the mouth and throat after eating fresh fruits or vegetables. This may be oral allergy syndrome, also known as pollen-food syndrome. It happens when the immune system reacts to proteins in certain raw foods that resemble pollen proteins. Health New Zealand describes oral allergy syndrome as a type of food allergy that can happen after eating certain foods, especially in people with pollen allergies.
For some individuals, avocado may trigger this kind of reaction. Symptoms are usually mild, but they can still be uncomfortable. If avocado causes mouth itching, throat irritation, or swelling, it is best to avoid it until a doctor gives proper advice.
