Yes, when we consume certain fruits it can lead to allergic reactions. This allergy can be due to allergens present in the fruits or due to chemical sprays that increase allergens. For example, some chemicals used for ripening of bananas can induce allergens and rise fruit allergenicity. Most time proteins or allergens can be inactivated by cooking, heating and pasteurization means. However, raw fruits with or without skin can cause allergic reactions in many.
