With the arrival of summer, the delicious seasonal fruit arrives in supermarkets and fruit and vegetable markets. Watermelons, strawberries, cherries, apricots, melons just to name a few. Each fruit has its own composition and nutritional values that change from fruit to fruit, but may also contain allergens.
Just think, for example, of those allergic to strawberries due to the presence of achenes, that is, the yellow seeds that are very evident. But strawberries aren’t the only seasonal fruit that many people are allergic to. In fact, in this article we will see another very tasty fruit that presents the same problems.
Beware of this seasonal fruit as it can cause allergies and severe reactions
Among the list of seasonal fruits that could cause reactions for those with allergies is peach. This contains more or less concentrated allergens both in the pulp and in the peel. Precisely for this reason an allergy can occur only to the peel rather than to this fruit in its entirety. Allergy symptoms can vary from person to person. In any case, the most common are itching with touch alone or after ingestion, swelling, gastrointestinal problems and severe anaphylactic shock.
If we suspect that we are allergic to peach or its peel, contact your doctor immediately. More likely it will indicate an allergist or recommend allergy tests to do to confirm or not the hypothesis. That is why we must be careful with this seasonal fruit because it can cause allergies and severe reactions.
Attention also to the other fruits
If there is a likelihood of being allergic to peach, it is also possible to have a reaction with other similar fruits such as apricot, cherry, almond and plum. These in fact belong to the same “family” as the Rosaceae.
Deepening
Beware of this unsuspected plant that we have in the garden because it could be dangerous for our dog’s health.
