A MUM of one fears that eating one piece of fruit or a spicy meal could kill her.
Charlotte Jefferson, 25, has been rushed to hospital multiple times after being taken ill after eating.
She coughs up blood if she eats a pear or a tomato and her throat swells so much she cannot breathe if she eats spices.
Now her doctors have diagnosed salicylate tolerance, a rare disorder which rules out cucumber, broccoli, yoghurt, jam, fruit drinks and fizzy drinks.
Shellfish, canned and smoked meats, pie fillings, vegetable oil, ketchup, herbs, spices, biscuits, sweets, custard and all fruit except bananas are also extremely dangerous
Charlotte, from Hull, whose son Warren is three, said: "I've been hospitalised so many times. I'm worried if I had a pear or spice again it could kill me.
"I'm suffering depression because I cannot lead a normal life."
