Dragon fruit allergy may cause symptoms such as skin redness, itching, papules, and blisters. It may also lead to respiratory symptoms including nasal congestion, sneezing, and coughing; in severe cases, it can result in dyspnea or anaphylactic shock. Additionally, gastrointestinal symptoms—such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain—may occur.
