A member asked:
Is it possible to become allergic to apple even if you've been eating apples all your life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Unfortunately yes, just like any food. Apple allergy is somewhat rare though compared to nuts and seafood for example. Just in case, check to see if you have developed a birch allergy, a known crossreactive pollen.
