Spring 2025 is here, so is the pollen season!!

Spring marks the start of pollen season, triggering allergies for many, particularly those with Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). This condition, also known as pollen-food allergy syndrome, occurs when the immune system confuses proteins in certain raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts with pollen allergens. Common culprits include apples, cherries, carrots, and almonds, which can cause itching, tingling, or swelling in the mouth and throat.

OAS sufferers struggle more in spring because trees like birch, oak, and alder release high levels of pollen. These allergens cross-react with food proteins, intensifying symptoms. While reactions are usually mild, severe cases can lead to throat swelling or difficulty breathing.

An accurate allergy diagnosis is crucial for managing OAS. Identifying specific pollen triggers through allergy testing helps individuals tailor their diet and medication use. Cooking fruits and vegetables can also break down proteins, reducing symptoms and allowing for safer consumption.

To learn more about the importance of molecular allergen testing and cross reactive allergy diagnosis visit our ALLERGY SOLUTION page and order your test now. Don’t let your allergies control or limit you this spring!
