postheadericon Cross-Reactions between Trees and Foods

I found this interesting. CLICK HERE for full article

Cross-Reactions between Trees and Foods – Oral Allergy Syndrome - AAIA Quarterly Volume 29 Fall 1993, Dr. Ham Pong
“Oral Allergy Syndrome” -- allergy to a pollen triggers itching of the mouth when related foods are eaten. See Oral Allergy article on Articles page.
Foods associated with BIRCH pollen allergy: apple family (apple, pear), Plum family (almond, apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach, plum, prune), Parsley family (carrot, celery, fennel, parsley, parsnip), Walnut.

Foods associated with RAGWEED pollen allergy: banana, melons.
Foods associated with GRASS pollen allergy: melons, orange, tomato.
Foods associated with MUGWORT (Artemisia vulgaris) pollen allergy: - apple, carrot, celery, melons

Webmaster insert - not part of original list but relevant.
Latex allergy is associated with sensitivity to foods: HIGH - bananas, chestnuts, avocados; MODERATE: apple, carrot, celery, tomato, kiwi, papaya, potato, melon. Others are low or undetermined.
Reference: Greer Laboratories, Inc. TM Allergy Update, Fall 1995.
There are some interesting facts about the foods that trigger Oral Allergy Syndrome:
  1. the allergy factor which links the pollens and the foods is not that of being related by botanical family;
  2. raw foods are more apt to cause a reaction than cooked foods.  Storage also decreases allergenicity
  3. some varieties of the same fruit, e.g., apple, may be tolerated
  4. not due to chemical, insecticides
  5. allergy tests may be negative unless fresh food extract is used
  6. most often seen in adults and is not usually outgrown
