Who’s at risk: People with latex allergy, especially healthcare workers or those who’ve had multiple surgeries. Also, those allergic to other cross-reactive foods like bananas, kiwis, chestnuts, and tomatoes.
What to do: If you have latex allergy or suspect you might react to avocados, see an allergist for testing. If you’ve ever experienced any symptoms after eating avocado, avoid it until you’ve been evaluated.
