Nonetheless, I've found one source that labels possible formaldehyde sensitivity. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/579335 http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/579335 (http://whilesciencesleeps.com/pdf/328.pdf http://whilesciencesleeps.com/pdf/328.pdf) If this is the actual mechanism, it would suggest that those people should avoid formaldehyde-containing foods in general, like apples, bananas, grapes, onions, carrots, seafood, beef, and poultry.
