An \u201citchy or tingly tongue\u201d after strawberries can worry parents,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but reactions are often mild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common cause is \u201cOral Allergy Syndrome (OAS),\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
also called \u201cpollen-food allergy syndrome,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where the immune system confuses fruit proteins with pollen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This usually causes quick itching or tingling in the mouth or lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typical symptoms include mild itching, tingling, or slight swelling that fades fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serious warning signs\u2014like breathing trouble or widespread hives\u2014need urgent care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kids may react more because their immune systems are still developing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
especially if they\u2019re sensitive to seasonal pollens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRaw strawberries usually trigger reactions,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
while cooked or processed forms often don\u2019t because heat changes the proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parents can pause raw berries, try cooked versions, and track symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
