Numb lips and closing throat is a reaction I get to some fruit and vegetables. Usually it's only when they're raw. Melon, kiwi fruit and some kinds of lettuce are the worst culprits, but banana and apples sometimes have that effect as well. For some reason spinach gets me even when cooked. *shrugs*.
I still eat these things, but not very often. My throat doesn't close up entirely; but it's a very uncomfortable feeling when it starts.
The worst offenders used to be peanuts and egg. I don't eat peanuts now at all. Eggs don't seem to affect me the same as they used to, so I do eat them.
