If the green beans were truly fresh, it might have been whatever was sprayed

on the beans by the grower or the grocery store. With all fruits and

vegetables, please scrub them before eating or even cooking them. There are

fruit and vegetable scrubs available commercially. With Broccoli & Cauliflower

soak in warm salt water before eating or cooking.

I get that when I eat apples, just raw ones, not apple sauce or cooked in

something. My tongue swells and get blotches on it and itches like i don't know

what. It's a lot different than the reaction I had to shellfish or nuts where

everything starts swelling, not so much itching, and can't breathe.

After about 5 min of being totally confused of what was going on i

took a benadryl and the itchyness went away. My throat didn't close

up, it felt like it was going to start to but has anyone had an itchy

mouth? Usally my throat feels like it has an expanding marble in it

then i take an antihistimine. Anyways just wondering, Nicki and Tena

> Food allergies are different from environmental allergies in that

our body sqirrels away the food protein in our fat cells when we have

a food allergy. When the concentration of the food protein gets high

enough in your system, then you start to have reactions.
