What do i need to know about my cherry allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly itchy mouth: Most people with cherry "allergy" actually have oral allergy syndrome" to the cherry. The allergy is actually to a pollen that has some cross reactivity to a usually uncooked cherry. Usually does not get worse than an itchy mouth. This can happen with other foods esp. Fruits. As with almost any food it is possible to really be allergic to cherries and then avoidance is mandatory along with epipen (epinephrine).
