plant allergies

Plant allergies are immune system reactions triggered by certain substances in plants, such as pollen, leaves, or sap. When someone with a plant allergy comes into contact with or inhales these allergens, their body mistakenly identifies them as harmful. This can lead to symptoms like sneezing, itching, runny nose, or skin reactions. Common plants that cause allergies include ragweed, grass, and certain trees. Managing these allergies often involves avoiding allergens and using medications like antihistamines to relieve symptoms. Understanding one’s specific triggers is key to effective management.
