Food allergies?

[MissEerie]

I was wondering about e juice and food allergies. I have a friend who is allergic to Bananas(deathly)but can eat artifical banana flavor. She is interested in Bananas flavored juices, but I have yet to let her try them..... I don't want to cause the first vaping related death in my living room. Anyone out there have any problems with allergies and juice flavors? Maybe I should invest in an epi-pen!

I haven't heard about any food allergies related to e-liquid yet, but you could probably contact your supplier and ask if there are any natural flavors used.

Hmmm, why risk it? If someone is allergic to bananas, duhhh stay away from banana flavored items, at least that makes sense to me.

Definitey. And also, her physician.

Personally, were I allergic to any type of food, I would avoid it in any e-liquid like the plague. But, that's just me. If she comes into very minor contact, say like touching a banana to her skin, is there a severe or any reaction at all?

I wouldn't risk it. Most of the flavorings I use contain natural and artificial flavors, including the Banana.

Skin contact creates hives.... We are not out to cause problems, just morbidly curious! She has considered taking the allergy shots because of her desire to try bananas. I just figured vapin may be a good way to try the flavor. It would suck to take shots for two years, just to find out you hate bananas. I will contact the supplier. WomanOfHeart what vendor did you buy your banana from?

If she can eat artificial banana flavored things then the juice flavoring would have to be ALL artificial flavored. It would be dangerous for her to try any with even the slightest bit of natural flavoring.
she could always try diy liquid. there are some flavorings that can be used that have all artificial flavors. Lorann's banana creme flavor claims its artificial flavor. https://www.lorannoils.com/p-8274-banana-creme-flavor.aspx but even with that, I suggest you contact the manufacturer to be sure.

If it were me though, I think I'd take everyone's advice and just avoid it all together.

Thank you all, we will do some research and talk to her DR. I'll keep you all posted and let you know what we learn as we go.

It would suck to be allergic to bananas.

I know... I figure by the time we are 80yrs old, if she still hasnt been able to try a banana... she should take matters in to her own hands, and put herself out of a banana-less existence... with a big bowl of Rice Krispies and Bananas!

Lol it's an odd thing to have to put on your bucket list for sure
