I’m also allergic to green onions and chives! I’ve been wondering if there’s anyone else out there like me. I’m not bothered by any other foods in that same food family, but the spring/green onions and chives cause my tongue to swell, turn red, and become very sore as well as make my throat hurt and make swallowing difficult. I’m considering carrying an epipen, but since nothing else like onions, leeks, or garlic bothers me I’m unsure. I’d really like to know more about your reaction because it could save my life! Please feel free to email me at ***@****. Thank you for posting on here!

Hello and hope you are doing well.
We can develop allergies to different things throughout our lifetimes as the allergy develops in response to a repeated stimulus. Allergic reactions can show a waxing and waning phenomenon. They can improve or worsen with time. Also it is possible to develop new allergies, you could develop new allergic reactions to the same food or other substances. You will only have to closely monitor.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
