Hello! I have been getting some itches and rashes on my back and neck after eating apples. Maybe it is the pesticides on the skin of the apples? Any help would be great, thanks!

  • Bonjour, il vaut mieux faire des tests avec un allergologue, il n'est pas possible d'y répondre comme cela :/

    Vous pouvez tester en mangeant des pommes épluchés et voir si vous avez toujours des soucis d'irritations.

  • Hi, sorry for the late reply. It might be an allergic reaction indeed, either to pesticides or to the apple itself. It might be interesting have a food allergies test if you want to be sure. Be careful to go to a real allergologist who'll do the appropriate tests (NOT IgG tests).
