Completely off the top of my head, but when you eat a KIWI aren't you
also eating the Kiwi seeds? It's been a while since I ate a Kiwi, but
isn't the center full of tiny little seeds? I'll bet anything, that is
what actually triggered your allergies.

Doddie, has your son ever eaten watermelon. If he is like most kids,
he is probably not to careful about not eating the seeds. That could
cause a problem is he is not aware of it.

I'm trying to think of other fruits that might have internal seeds
that one might eat accidentally, but I'm drawing a blank at the
moment. I could be something to watch out for though.
