A member asked:

Whenever i eat apples, my throat feels like it is itchy and swollen. could i be allergic to apples?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Some people with allergies to certain pollens like birch may experience this especially if the apple is fresh and during the spring time.. We call this Food-Pollen allergy or the Oral Allergy Syndrome. Cooking or peeling the fruit solves the problem. You can get tested.
