Potato Allergies
Have you ever encountered people who have allergies to potatoes?

Belgian doctors are looking into cases of children who seems to be allergic to cooked white potato, showing allergic symptoms such as wheezing, vomiting, and immediate skin reactions upon exposure to white potato.
Results of various experiments, including a potato challenge, in which a small amount of cooked potato was applied to the inside of the child's lower lip, and a skin prick test, using extracts of homemade cooked and uncooked potato, indicate that the children were indeed allergic to cooked potato, the researchers report.

Their observations were published in the September issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. They still don't know which protein in potato is it that causes the allergic reaction.

If you have unexplained eczemalinks, or allergic symptoms, you just might think about it. Consult with your doctor.
