Good Evening,
Thank you for your question. I understand your concerns and will try to help you today.

For your information, a banana allergy is often connected to a latex allergy. This is because some of the proteins in the rubber trees that produce latex are known to cause allergies, and they are similar to the proteins found in some nuts and fruits, including bananas. This syndrome is known as latex-food syndrome or latex-fruit allergy.

Among some of the famous symptoms for these allergies are :

• itching or swelling of the lips, tongue, and throat
• hives
• swollen, itchy, or red eyes
• runny nose or sneezing
• shortness of breath
• abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea
