I love apples. But for the longest time, starting about 20 years ago, I thought I had developed an allergy to apples because no matter what I did to clean them, including peeling the skin, I still had a badly itching throat and all my "usual" food allergy symptoms. Then after I bought a property that had wild apple trees and i found that I could eat the sweet ones with no issues, and could also eat the apples growing at a friend's house, I realized there was something being sprayed on commercial apples that I had an allergic reaction to. In short, the less crap that's sprayed onto my food, the better. So yeah, I'd rather pay more for cherries (I'm allergic to raw ones anyway!) than have to deal with the side effects of whatever water repellent is applied.
