Tea enthusiasts, beware! This one’s for you.
While chamomile tea isn’t the most popular option on the market, it definitely provides you with plenty of health benefits. However, it might best to avoid this herb if you notice any strange symptoms such as sneezing or coughing.
Dr. McGrath explains that these adverse reactions come more often as an irritant effect rather than an actual allergy. However, sometimes it could happen for you body to develop an immune-system response to certain herbs, essential oils or spices.
Chamomile tea combined with ragweed can cause a cross-reaction. What does that mean? Both chamomile and ragweed contain very similar proteins, which might trigger an allergic response in your body.
If you’re experiencing hay fever, on the other hand, you might go through symptoms such as itchiness, runny nose or hives.
When it comes to foods, we already know that nuts pose a very big risk of allergy. However, cross-reactivity with pollen and grasses can also lead to allergic reactions to raw fruits; the most common allergens in this category are:
Additionally, some vegetables may also pose a similar threat, such as celery, onions, carrots or potatoes.
Dr. McGrath points out that most people might believe that their allergic reactions are caused by a chemical used to accelerate the growth process. In fact, sometimes the allergen can literally be part of the food!
Many chemicals used in cleaning products can cause a severe contact rash. Dr. Hummell says that such reactions worsen gradually: at first, you might only notice that your skin is a bit irritated. In a matter of days, though, the rash could get worse to the point it becomes chronic and you need medical treatment.
This type of skin reaction is very unlikely to generate life-threatening reactions such as throat swelling or heart problems. However, it’s still very important to identify which substance causes the rash and avoid it as much as possible.
