A member asked:

If i'm allergic to watermelon, will it just be watermelon, or should i be careful of other (specific) foods?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Melon allergy: Sometimes multiple melons or multiple fruits will react when you are sensitive to one. Allergy skin tests and challenges done in the allergist's office can help you to know the answer to this question in your case.
