The same with me but with crabs sometimes! And one friend told me that
he frequently gets the "avocado disease", feeling infected and sick
after
eating avocados, even for some days following the meal.

The bacteria? Hm, I don't believe it. It should be worse with terrible
aged crabs then. But it isn't.
So I'm left in the dark like you with this phenomen.

What seems sure to me: it is   n o t   an infection because it's over
quickly. And there's just this sick feeling in my throat, nothing
else.
A good infection should at least throw some mucus or similar things
out.

Hand over your questions. Maybe some people (including me) are in
the mood to answer them right now.
