Hi gang: I ate green melon (I think it's called honeydew) for the

first time in years. I had just not had it in that long by chance.

Omigosh it made my nose flare terribly!! Even caused my eyes

to " flare " and I never have ocular and hardly ever have nose

involvement. I know it was the melon because I at it by itself and

the flare happened right after, then I ate the other half the next

day to be sure and same thing happened. Anyone else sensitive to

honeydew melon or have any idea why it might cause a rosacea reaction?

Weird!!!

Patty, you and Mike may well experience a cross-reaction to an

antigen similar to ragweed. All melons, bananas and a few other odd

things like chamomile, are potential culprits, but for some reason

honeydew melon is the one always talked about in medical literature.

(Maybe because it's such a great fruit. <g>)

It's an individual thing; even people with a bad reaction to one

melon can tolerate the rest. For example, I react to well-ripened

honeydew in the summer -- if the melon isn't sweet I'm fine -- but

I'm fine with the sweetest cantalope or watermelon.

See this article for more information:

Cantalopes are cheaper and healthier anyway. <g>

I can eat tons of watermelon, my absolute fav fruit. However, ever

since I was a kid, honeydew would make my tongue itch. It still does

to this day, which is why I hardly eat it.
