Strawberry allergy is gone?

Question:

I've been allergic to strawberries all my life (hives, difficulty breathing). Yesterday I accidentally ate a large strawberry that was in some ice cream and nothing happened. Does this mean the allergy is gone and it's safe for me to eat them?

Answers:

I wouldn't stuff strawberries in my mouth if that happened to me, but you could probably eat a small piece and see what happens. (keep some allergy pills next to you while you do that.)
