Strawberries are often perceived as “allergens”. Although strawberries are known to
cause adverse reactions (mainly urticaria) in some individuals, what are the signs of a strawberry allergy you may ask, well there is no evidence
for strawberry allergies and the mechanism for the reaction is not yet known.
Strawberry hypersensitivity is generally not life threatening, but the symptoms are
very similar to those occurring in IgE-mediated food allergies (e.g. via histamine
release)

Some signs of a strawbery allergy is when you have an allergy attack the immune system produces antibody (IgE) in response to the proteins found in your food. The antibodies in turn cause the cells
of the human body to product histamine and other chemicals, which cause the allergic symptoms. The immune system can release histamines
anywhere in the patent's body.
Which part of the body the histamines are released in determines the type of allergic reaction that you will have, which in turn are the signs of a strawberry allergy. If the histamines are release in the
skin then localized swelling, itching or hives occur. If the histamines are release in the stomach then nausea and cramps can occur. If the release of
the histamines occurs in the lungs then bronchial spasms, coughing and difficulty breathing can be the result and be signs that you may have an allergic reaction to strawberries. If the histamine is released into the
blood stream then anaphylactic shock and even death may occur, this is more evident if this a strawberry allergy in baby or child.
