Title: strange thing about honeydew melons
Post by: Homegrown Tomatoes on January 21, 2008, 01:29:59 PM
Every time I eat them, I get almost all choked up... congested feeling, sort of... they taste good, and I don't break out or anything from eating them.  Is this a bit of an allergic reaction or do they affect everyone that way?  I remember reading one time that if you have asthma that eating honeydews or cantaloupes could make it worse... but I don't remember why.

Maybe you're sad, having just taken the life of a melon.  :(

Groan!  That's probably it, Glenn.

Stink has a bad influence on me.

Here you go, Homegroan.  :)
