Mouth tingling?: To have a food allergy you have to have a reaction (hives, wheeze, swelling...) and an elevated blood test. Are you experiencing mouth/throat symptoms with certain foods? Oral allergy syndrome is when you have a cross reaction to a protein from seasonal allergen that the body confuses for a food. Common triggers are apples and peaches. Best to avoid these foods or boil them to prevent symptoms.
