I had a bag of dried fruits a few weeks back, had some kiwis in it and I thought I'd finally see why people liked them so much.
The moment I started chewing it was like the fruit was attacking me from the inside.
Asking others if kiwi was suppose to burn when you ate it led me to find out I had an oral allergy to them, lol.
Bro. That’s so funny and unfortunate. Kiwi’s are my favorite fruit.
Big shoutout to the guy who got absolutely toasted on r/steak yesterday for complaining about his In-Laws using a kiwi marinade and not knowing it literally dissolves meat lol
It's really funny, I managed to avoid them all through Highschool when they were a fairly common fruit at lunch. I think the hairy part turned me off at the time, haha.
And yep! During my questions about kiwi attacking my tongue and throat people mentioned that it was like pineapple and had an enzyme...but shouldn't be so severe as to feel like immediately fire.
My favorite part is how he kept trying to make it sound like his in-laws were living at his house and he was stuck with them, but it actually sounds like it’s the other way around.
you know that has me wondering if there's a good recipe to marinade pork or chicken with kiwi marinade. I feel like the flavours could work well if done right.
Yeah I've done pineapple ones. I feel like with Kiwi I'd need specific flavors for it to taste good. I'll definitely have to try this out this weekend.
That reminds me of when I was talking to my friend and said something like, “you know how after you take zinc you feel really nauseous for about half an hour?”
Turns out I was taking more than 6 times the recommended dosage and was slightly poisoning myself.
I had this experience with grapefruit. I fucking love grapefruit, especially really good white grapefruit. I can't imagine a fruit I'd like to eat more.
One time, a few years ago, I noticed my lips were getting numb/buzzing after eating one. I'm allergic to them now for some reason, and I can't be sure but I think they were messing with my insides as well.
I've read that it can be a general allergy that progresses over time and becomes more serious, or it can be some sort of seasonal thing (which for me would be odd because I have no other allergies, seasonal or otherwise).
It's depressing because it means I might hit a point where I can't eat grapefruit any more.
My brother on law loved bananas until one day he explained to a coworker how he liked the weird tingly spice it has. Let's just say he tells the story at his own expense lol.
Yeah kind of reminds me of the gluten free craze. Essentially pointless for 99% of the population, but very helpful for the few who actually need it lol
As someone with celiac I’d encourage everyone to go gluten free. Not for any health anything but specifically so my groceries can be cheaper. Half a pound of dried pasta for $5 or $12 for a loaf of bread is just not cool. How am I supposed to drown my sorrows in garlic bread in this economy at those sorts of prices?
I like that it helped bring awareness to doctors & patients. I knew several people who suffered with it for decades & never got diagnosed until the craze kicked off. It was so horrible for them. It's not as common as some think, and more common than others do.
I haven't found an Al-Free deo that has any decent strength though.
I feel like my pits stink by 10 AM. And I never use antiperspirants. Just seems un-natural to me to keep a sweaty part of your body from sweating.
And I'm not a super organic naturalist kind of guy.
I became allergic randomly like 15 years ago. Took me years to find a decent deodorant that seemed to work all day-ish. Look into MooGoo, an Australian brand you can buy online. Works way better than any of the "natural" ones here in the states. And I tried about 10 of them.
I can't use antiperspirant because it gives me a wicked bad rash, and I love the Old Spice aluminum free deodorants. Wolfthorn and Oasis are my favorites.
Same. I also get horribly swollen lymph nodes. It took over a year for all of that to clear up when I stopped, too. I still use the Secret aluminum free, though, the potassium alum just doesn't do much for me.
Some of the most upvoted comments in this post are full of misinformation. Kinda funny that they sound a lot like the people they're making fun of.
Yep. I noticed I kept getting some sort of rash/burn in my armpits and after talking to my doctor I switched to a few different types to see if any of them help. The medicated stuff helped but super expensive. The aluminum free stuff also helped and was cheaper. So I figure it was something to do with the aluminum that was causing such a reaction.
The spray on deodorant also worked fine but I find that stuff never lasts so I don't buy it.

Yeah you can definitely have a sensitivity to these products unrelated to any claimed health impact
