I was today years old when I learned that it's not normal for bananas to make your mouth feel dry and astringent like this.
My friends: oh, there's so much fake banana in here.
Me: oh no, this is real banana. I get that mouth thing with real bananas.
Friends: ?????
Me: Oh shit.
Anyway, I guess it's time to add banana to my allergies list.
Sounds like a latex allergy. You should watch out for strawberries and kiwi fruit too. All related to latex, somehow. Learned this from a friend who couldn't be in the room with a rubber band...
Kiwi fruit always makes my mouth tingle, but I never realized the mouth dryness from bananas was an allergic reaction. TIL, too.
@bobjonkman Kiwis are actually dangerous for me. Strawberries aren't as bad but getting worse.
This was the first time bananas did much. :(
@mayintoronto @bobjonkman you’re allergic to smoothies.
@dave The fancy pants smoothie places use fresh bananas. It's the commercial purees that has the unripe and the rind that makes my mouth unhappy. I'm gonna try a ripe banana at some time to check.
@dave @bobjonkman Oh since this resurfaced .. ripe bananas are no good. Banana bread should still be fine though.
Mmm. Banana bread. It's only 2am. That's not too late to start baking, is it?
