These foods are classified as " direct mast cell degranulators " which worsen itching and hives. Mast cell degranulators are foods that cause a release of histamine, the itch-agent in our skin.These problematic foods are: Tomatoes and tomato products Berries and berry flavored products Egg whites and mayonnaise Nuts Chocolate Shellfish As well: Aspirin, alcohol and B vitamins. In simple language allergies. If you get a reaction from eating to many tomatoes, it is likely that although you don't notice it, even in smaller quantities this food might not be good for you. There are ways of clearing allergies, but even though I offer this service to my own PX, I still wonder about if this practice is prudent Another cause of itching in tomatoes is reactions to pesticides, which are used heavily on non-organic tomatoes.
