What are the symptoms of allergy to cantaloupe

Many people may not believe that eating Hami melon can cause allergies, but in fact Hami melon is indeed prone to allergies. Some people are prone to allergic symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swollen eyes, and nasal congestion after eating it. Therefore, we should understand some of the causes and coping methods of Hami melon allergies. If you do have an allergic constitution, you should avoid eating Hami melon in your daily life.

1. What is the reason for allergic reaction to cantaloupe?

First, let's understand the causes of allergies. The causes of skin allergies include internal factors and external factors. The internal factor is the allergic constitution itself, which plays a leading role in the onset of skin allergies. Early and thorough desensitization is the key to treating skin allergies and preventing recurrence.

2. What should I do if I am allergic to Hami melon?

Antihistamines can be taken orally, commonly used ones are chlorpheniramine and cyproheptadine, and vitamin C tablets or calcium gluconate tablets can also be taken orally. Combine with calamine lotion or skin relaxing ointment and apply to the affected area. Generally speaking, when "allergens" enter the body for the first time, mast cells or alkaliphilic granulocytes combine to produce allergic factors such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins, but allergies do not occur immediately. This characteristic will last for 2 to 3 days or even several months. When the body is exposed to this "allergen" for the second time, the mast cells will be deformed and produce allergic factors, which will lead to a series of allergic phenomena. Therefore, for people with allergies, in order to avoid allergic reactions, they should try to avoid contact with allergens. If you are allergic to Hami melon, do not eat it.

3. Who should not eat Hami melon?

Although Hami melon is delicious, not everyone can eat it. So who can’t eat Hami melon? Hami melons are on the market in July and August. Many people eat a lot of them in the summer because they are sweet enough. However, not everyone is suitable for eating more Hami melons.

The potassium ion content in Hami melon is very high. Due to the reduced ability of patients with renal failure to process potassium, if they eat high-potassium foods, it will cause bradycardia, especially leading to unexpected situations. Therefore, people with renal failure and oliguria should not eat Hami melon. People with beriberi, jaundice, abdominal distension, loose stools, cold cough and asthma, as well as those who have just given birth or are sick should not eat too much; people with diabetes should eat it with caution.
