6 years ago, my surgeon said that he believes I have a latex allergy and since then I've also discovered I have an allergy to poinsettias. They're similar to the rubber plant where latex comes from.

Yesterday, I finally realized that I have an avocado allergy as well and looked it up and saw that people with a latex allergy have crossover allergies to foods like avocados and kiwi. And that also made me remember that kiwi fruits make my tongue tingle, so it looks like I'm allergic to those too.

Does anyone else have these crossover allergies?
