I have the same thing for cantelope -- I have read that people who are allergic to ragweed can develop an allergy to catelope because they are related.
I could eat cantelope just fine until I developed hay fever to ragweed when I was 18.
You have to be very careful with that kind of allergic response because you can develope throat swelling and have breathing problems -- I don't eat melon anymore because of it. :(
I get it when I eat mellon, bananas, strawberries- If i drink milk or water right after it doesn't bother me but if I don't I make a throat itching sound my wife loves:spank:
