Akaso Eiji has a very special health condition.
He is allergic to almost all fruits (Peach, apple, grape, kiwi, strawberry, banana, orange, avocado, melon, watermelon, pear, coconut, etc.). This also means all kind of processed fruits such as juice, ice cream, etc.
Beside fruits, Eiji has alot of other allergies (52 of them!), which are house dust, cat and dog dander, certain plants: tree or wooden, seafood: shellfish, nuts: peanut, sesame, almonds, walnuts, even rice, wheat, soybeans, corn, barley, soba noodles, vegetables: carrot, garlic, onion, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, bamboo shoots, garlic, carrots, celery, pumpkin, spinach, etc.
Eiji said that his face will go completely white and have breathing difficulties when eating fruits.
In High School, he got some Valentine’s chocolate from a friend that had a sneaky strawberry and he had to go to the hospital.
He loves fruits, especially strawberry but he is also severely allergic to it. He hasn’t eaten it for more than 12 years, he almost forgot the taste.
In 2019, in a tv show, a doctor tried to help him. Eiji underwent a allergy treatment and at the end he could eat 8 pieces of strawberries without any problem.
Allergies can not be cured, but the symptoms can be reduced through medications. This means if the therapy is successful he can tolerate small amounts of these things. However, there is no guarantee that the symptoms will be gone forever. Experts advise to strictly avoid foods that causes symptoms cause the reaction can worsen (or lessen if you’re lucky) over time.
It seems like the treatment (histamine/immunoglobulin therapy) helped Eiji to eat certain things (improved 26 out of 52 allergies), especially his favorite fruit strawberry. His allergies are at different levels (fruits being at the highest level), while rice and wheat for example are at level 2 out of 6, which mean that the symptoms may be a little milder.
