During the early months of 2014, I was mostly hospitalsed with lymphatic cancer treatment. Towards the end, I was well enough to receive solid food again, but the daily fruit smoothie the nurses forced me to swallow eventually became too much. As soon as I was safe at home, I eliminated bananas from my diet, because just thinking about choking on one makes me sick, so I have avoided them ever since. The reason is purely psychological, but I no longer regard bananas as human food.

Some people can actually develop a banana allergy. The reactions vary widely. They can include itching of the mouth and throat, itchy rash (hives, urticaria), skin or mucosal swellings (angioedema) and in rare cases narrowing of the throat, wheezing and even collapse. In most cases, symptoms begin within seconds or minutes of eating the fruit.
