I can sympathize with the hives KW I do too. Everyone tells me they never heard of such a thing. When I was a teenager my aunt tried to kill me , she made a pie and I asked did it have coconut in it,and thinking I just didn't think I liked coconut she was going to prove me wrong she said no that's just the oatmeal in it. So I ate a piece and she said have another piece, so I did and 2 hrs. later I was in the hospital. When I got a little older I decided to make this guy I liked a fresh coconut cake for his birthday and I discovered if you are allergic to coconut don't grate it and let the milk get in your skin. When my husband and I married I found out my father in law's favorite cake was coconut so I made them for him quite often always using canned or frozen coconut and wearing rubber gloves when I put it on !
