Do you know some people with latex allergy are also allergic to certain food items such as avocado. The reason behind this strange fact is that the proteins present in rubber that manifests latex allergy are also there in these fruits. Some of the common symptoms of avocado allergy are tingling sensation in the mouth, stuffy nose, itching in the eyes, and wheezing. The people who have sensitivity for the manufacturing chemicals present in the latex do not show any symptom of allergies from these fruits.

According to Ayurveda, this ailment can be correlated with Udarda which is represented by skin manifestations. By implementing ayurvedic principles and management strategies you can get rid of latex-avocado allergies. At Dr. Gupta’s IAFA, we use effective natural remedies manufactured by following the principle of Ayurveda for Ayurvedic treatment of Avocado Allergy.

Avocado allergy can be in the form of oral allergy. The oral allergy is produced after intake of avocado and the body identifies it as an allergen which triggers the immune system and produces mild to moderate allergy symptoms like itching of mouth, lips, and throat. 

If you are allergic to latex then the probability is high that you might also be allergic to certain fruits like avocados. This is an example of cross-reactivity which suggests that they contain similar types of proteins. 

Note: This type of allergy can also be observed on consumption of food items like chestnut, kiwifruit, passion fruit, plum, strawberry and tomato in the individuals who are allergic to latex. 

Causes of Avocado Allergy

The immune system misinterprets the proteins present in rubber latex as harmful and produces antibodies against it to safeguard the body. The proteins present in some fruits like avocado are similar to those present in latex and hence the body starts an allergic reaction. The allergic response triggers the secretion of histamines on the exposure to latex and gives rise to allergy-related symptoms. 

Causative Agents for Avocado Allergy

  • Direct exposure of latex or its products like gloves, balloons, condoms etc.
  • Inhalation of latex particles that remain suspended in the air.
  • Fruits like Avocado, Passion Fruit, Kiwi etc. contain the same proteins as in latex. So, latex allergic people may get allergic to these fruits also.  

People who have constant or increased contact with latex gloves or other products are more prone to be affected with latex allergy. This group includes medical professionals, those who undergo repeated surgeries, people who work in the rubber industry etc. and also those with a family history of allergy. 

Ayurveda describes exposure to cold wind as the reason for Udarda.

Symptoms of Avocado Allergy

Allergic symptoms caused by exposure to latex may vary from mild to severe. Intensity of symptoms depends on sensitivity of the victim and degree of exposure. 

Mild Symptoms include itchy skin with rashes and redness. In severe condition the symptoms are:

  •  Runny nose
  •  Sneezing
  •  Cough,
  •  Wheezing
  •  Sore throat
  •  Breathing difficulty etc. 

The symptoms of Udarda as explained in Ayurvedic texts are reddish, itchy, raised bumps on the skin. Moreover, the below-mentioned symptoms occur if the condition becomes chronic in nature:

  • Swelling
  • Needle-like pain
  • Fever, Vomiting
  • Burning Sensation
