    The same happens to me. Luckily I can manage to eat one whole melon before it gets too bad because I love them! Especially the orange flesh ones.

     

    Same thing happens to me with pineapple.

    Google "Oral Allergy Syndrome". I added a post on this last month. I get it with certain types of mangos (even really ripe ones).

    Yup, they were definitely ripe... thanks though:)

      Adults who suffer from hay fever often exhibit an allergy to honeydew as well.  A couple of my friends can't eat it for the same reasons because they have allergies to ragweed.  Google oral allergy syndrome, you'll find tons of info on it!  Apparently honeydew is one of the biggest offenders...

        That would explain it - although my allergies seem to have mostly disappeared :)

    I can't eat honeydew - it tastes totally spicy and hurts my throat.

    Darn. Another fruit I can't eat.

    I have the problem with pineapple too :(

      So you stopped eating completely for a while and now you can again w/o a problem?

    Yes, same for me most of the time. Like pineapple, I have to limit it.
