Have you had an allergy test? Itching and swelling are definitely allergic symptoms, the throat swelling being especially concerning. Allergic reactions can increase dramatically in severity from one instance to the next, so you should seriously avoid kiwi. Anaphylaxis is not something you want to experience.

I guess it's an allergy to some degree; don't care about the term. I only get it from melons (not watermelon), kiwi and Brazil nuts. I don't eat anything that makes my throat and ears constricted!!
