No, but that is exactly what happened to me when I ate banana, avocado, or kiwi fruit. I was diagnosed as being allergic to them. After about 2-3 years of that, all of the above symptoms would happen plus my airway would begin to close up. Now I can't consume even a small quantity by accident without experiencing those reactions. Same things happen to my housemate who is allergic to tree nuts and shellfish.
