Why does eating a kiwi make my tongue feel so weird?!
Answers: I love eating Kiwi's, but everytime I do, the back of my tongue feels like there's hair or something stuck to it. It's not the hair from the kiwi, because I peel it. When I run my finger along the back of the mouth, there's not seeds or anything (at least not that I can feel) there.
you are allergic. Also, perhaps you did not skin it completely. You should not eat the skin...
i think you may have a slight allergy to them
I do and thats how i feel
try taking a benadryl before you eat them.
Raw kiwifruit is also rich in the protein-dissolving enzyme actinidin, (in the same family of thiol proteases as papain), which is commercially useful as a meat tenderizer but can be an allergen for some individuals. Specifically, people allergic to latex, papayas or pineapples are likely to be allergic to kiwifruit also. Reactions include tingling and sore mouth; swelling of the lips, tongue and face; rash; vomiting and abdominal pain; and, in the most severe cases, breathing difficulties, wheezing and collapse. The most common symptoms are unpleasant itching and soreness of the mouth, with the most common severe symptom being wheezing. Severe symptoms are most likely to occur in young children.
You have what is called an oral allergy. I do the same thing with carrots, strawberries and watermelon but it doesn't stop me from eating them! :)
sounds like you are allergic
ur not alleric the same thing happens to me, i thought it was just me it's probablly just the texture of the kiwi's skin that makes ur tounge feel furry when u eat it
