Strawberries

[Weaza_cfc]

When my mother was pregnant with my brother, strawberries made her hurl, only previously and successively she has never disagreed with them. my brother has never liked strawberries, claiming that they made him feel ill, and he hasn't touched one one in years. Could he be allergic?

*sorry if this is in the wrong category

Yes, he could be allergic.

Allergic might be a bit strong - if the made him come out in hives or something then yes.

 

The chances are that he simply does not like the taste and this triggers a physical reaction of queasiness.  I get the same thing with artificial raspberry flavouring which I can trace back to the days when I lived abroad and had to take a medicine called Prepsin regularly which was raspberry flavoured but would make me feel sick.
