A WOMAN has not eaten most fruit or veg in 20 years — as a single bite could kill her.
Recruitment consultant Chloe Raisbeck, 27, was diagnosed with oral allergy syndrome in January 2005 after her lips swelled up while eating a peach at school.

She has developed a “fear of eating”, carries an EpiPen and even makes her boyfriend brush his teeth if he’s eaten anything green.
Chloe, a recruitment consultant from Solihull, West Midlands, said: “My allergies came out of nowhere.
“I was able to eat fruit and vegetables normally with no symptoms.
“But since taking a bite of that peach, my relationship with food has changed.
“If I eat any of my five-a-day, I develop swollen lips, an itchy throat, and lumps in my mouth.
“I’m lucky my symptoms aren’t too bad, but every time I eat, there’s a constant fear.
“It has made eating very difficult – and I’ll have to rely on giving myself multivitamins every day to treat my allergies.”
However, Chloe has this year managed to eat raspberries.
She added: “I will be allergic to those foods for the rest of my life.
“So I’m trying to reintroduce stuff that I’ve been so scared of eating.
“Over the next few years, I hope to have more varied diets and that I can eat more things.
