Itching or tingling in the mouth
This symptom occurs when an individual with a mandarin allergy consumes or comes into contact with the fruit. The immune system reacts to the proteins found in mandarins, resulting in itching or tingling sensations in the mouth.
Skin Reactions
People allergic to mandarins may experience skin reactions such as rash, hives or eczema. These are often red, itchy, and may cause a burning sensation.
Swelling
The sufferer might notice swelling, particularly of the lips, face, tongue, or throat. Excessive swelling can increase the risk of a respiratory blockage, which requires urgent medical attention.
Nasal Allergies
Individuals with a mandarin allergy could experience sneezing, stuffy nose, or runny nose. These symptoms are related to an allergic reaction affecting the respiratory system.
Stomach Discomfort
People allergic to mandarins may suffer from stomach discomforts such as vomiting, diarrhoea, or abdominal pain. These symptoms are due to the digestive system reacting to the mandarin proteins.
Anaphylaxis
This is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can happen within minutes of exposure. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, dizziness or lightheadedness, rapid or weak pulse, and loss of consciousness. Immediate medical attention is required.
