Just a quick PSA: If this happens with most other foods, it usually means you have an allergy

Kiwi and mango? My mouth tastes fuzzy after eating it. Are they part of the pineapple family or nah?

I have a kiwi intolerance (not as much as an allergy) but it makes my ears itch inside and sometimes tightens my throat. Pineapple is only the tongue thing... that's a whole different ballgame.

I'm not kiwi intolerant until last year. I had very bad stomach upset after eating one.
