did this happen? Is it a spray they used? And I don't have pollen allergies.

I have the same problem with apples. I developed it as a teen. I cant eat apples, peaches, pear, nectarines, etc ( any fruit with the skin on). It is a fairly common fruit allergy. I always thought it had something to do with a spray that was used at the orchard, but an Allergist told me it was related to birch pollen or another type of pollen.
