A member asked:
If i have once had an allergic reaction (angioedema) to a kiwi, will i for certain have one again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite likely : Each repeated exposure to the same allergen (kiwi, in this case) can cause a more severe allergy reaction each time. It would be wise to avoid kiwis for a while. The good news is that there are some food allergic reactions that can decrease in time, as with egg allergies.
