    I guess you can be allergic to anything really & I have heard of people who can't have avacardo.

    Would hate it if it was me, I luurrrvee avacardo!

    Avocado is high in salycilites(sp?) so it can cause adverse reactions if you have too much. Sometimes its just an over abundance of it that can cause a reaction, or you could become allergic to it as well. Same as bananas.

    I think I'm developing an allergy to avocado, everytime I have it lately my lips swell and itch like mad. Its terrible as I used to eat it daily.

    My friends sister is allergic to avocado and will vomit if she eats anything with avocado in it so yes it is possible.
