Here is some excellent info on cantaloupe.

I also read, a long time ago, that if you are allergic to ragweed, you will most likely have a reaction to cantaloupe. People with a known allergy to ragweed pollen are more likely to develop an allergy to bananas or melons (cantaloupe, watermelon, etc.).
