Allergic to store-bought avocados but not homegrown. is that weird?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, weird: If a person reacts to store bought avocado, but not home grown avocado, that suggests that it is probably not the avocado itself, but perhaps a chemical, pesticide, insecticide, or other substance that is on the store bought avocado.
