What does it mean when honeydew/cantalope is a little tingley sometimes?

Ur also supposed to tell ur doctors if ur allergic to bees bcos there’s a certain medication that your body misidentifies as a bee sting and can and will kill you if you’re allergic 🙂‍↕️

Oh I forgot to add that when I found this out I told my brother (who’s allergic to poison ivy) and he was like “oh that’s why my mouth is tingly after I eat it” SIR

Oh yeah ofc, I never do. It’s much healthier to eat the skin (assuming you wash it well and you’re not sensitive to urushiol)
