Latex-fruit syndrome is a good band name
Alt name for xiu xiu
People who are allergic to stuff that comes out of trees are also allergic to different stuff that comes out of trees.
Like drop bears?
I find most people are allergic to surprise maulings.
I had a coworker with this allergy. She randomly had an attack at work and couldn’t find her EpiPen, it was really scary. Thankfully another coworker used his on her and she ended up being ok. We’re still not sure what triggered it; she suspects there may have been some sort of latex in the asphalt binder that a construction crew was paving with across the street.
makes sense, as latex is the sap of a tropical tree
Figs too.
Interesting. I don’t think it goes both ways. I’m allergic to kiwis and anything in the birch family, but never had a problem with latex.
What allergies do you get from the birch family? Any food allergies or just burch trees?
