Avocado allergy is triggered when you eat avocado and your body treats the food as an invader, alerting your immune system. Your body reacts with mild to severe allergy symptoms, such as itching of your lips, mouth and throat. In very rare cases, avocado allergy may also cause an anaphylactic response, such as swelling of the airways and difficulty breathing. If it happens, call your local emergency services immediately!

How to treat avocado allergy symptoms:
-Apply the gel of aloevera to relieve skin conditions caused by avocado allergy.
-Drink a cup of freshly prepared pomegranate juice with a cup of sugar cane juice may relieve the gastric discomfort such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting
-For nasal congestion, watering of eyes and cough; prepare tomato soup, add one tsp of chopped ginger, one teaspoon of lemon juice and salt to taste. Drink it twice in a day. It is an effective home remedy for mild respiratory allergy complaints caused due to avocado allergy.
-Skin symptoms such as hives, skin rash and itching are felt better after drinking green tea or chamomile tea. They both are popular home remedies for treating avocado skin allergies, as they have antihistamine properties.

If you’re an avocado aficionado and are disappointed to find yourself allergic, there are plenty of substitutes.
The most commonly recommended substitution is cooked (and cooled) chayote squash. Chayote squash doesn’t have much flavor, so it mixes well with garlic, tomatoes, onion and lime to make a delicious quasi-guacamole.
If it’s the creamy green look you’re after, try pureeing green peas for spreads or another fresh take on guacamole. Cooked, pureed asparagus and broccoli are similar substitutes, but they do have a much stronger flavor.
To substitute for avocado’s salty taste in salads or sandwiches, try marinated, sliced hearts of palm or artichoke hearts.

You can take a blood sample to determine if you're allergic to avocados. Traditional allergy tests utilize the skin prick method (also known as a puncture or scratch test) to determine whether an allergic reaction will occur by inserting possible triggers into your skin with a needle prick. If you are allergic to the substance, you are forced to suffer through your body's reaction to the allergen. But an easier, virtually pain-free blood test to determine the allergen status of substances without the irritation of traditional skin prick tests is now available and you'll have accurate results in maximum 3 days.
And did you know that avocados are actually a berry? People diagnosed with an avocado allergy should also test themselves for the five other most common berry allergies, which is now possible in one convenient, money-saving package.

If you are allergic to avocado, you should also be skeptic to other fruits and vegetables, like papaya, banana, chestnut, passionfruit, fig,
melon, mango, kiwi, pineapple, peach and tomato. That doesn't necessarily mean that these foods have to be avoided routinely, though, unless
they cause problems.
