General Discussions. » Banana Tree leaf juice makes my tongue go numb? May 17, 2006 04:25 PM (Total replies: 9)

Your reaction sounds suspiciously like a banana allergy. I developed banana allergies about 3 years ago, and it sucks, as I LOVE banana pudding. The corners of my mouth get cracked and itchy, and I sometimes have "gastric distress" when I can't resist the banana pudding. A steady dose of Claritin D seems to help if you can't resist those bananas. My mom is a nurse and has the same allergy. She says people who are allergic to bananas are frequently also allergic to latex. (fortunately I'm not so far...)
