However, for many individuals, the arrival of spring also brings the unwelcome return of seasonal allergies. The blooming flowers, budding trees, and floating pollen can trigger uncomfortable symptoms and dampen the joy of the season.

Cross-reactivity: Cross-reactivity refers to the phenomenon where the immune system reacts to similar proteins found in different substances. Cross-reactivity can occur between different types of foods or between foods and environmental allergens. Individual symptoms vary depending on this.
Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or pollen-food syndrome is a condition where individuals experience allergic reactions to certain raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts that contain proteins similar to those found in pollen. These reactions typically occur in individuals who are allergic to pollen from trees, grasses, or weeds. When consuming trigger foods, which often include apples, peaches, celery, and almonds. Individuals with OAS may experience itching or tingling sensations in the mouth, throat, or lips. In some cases, OAS reactions can also lead to swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing, although these severe reactions are less common. Cooking the trigger foods can often eliminate or reduce the allergic response.
Pollen: Pollen is a common allergen that triggers allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
Tree Pollen: Trees such as Oak, Birch, Cedar, and Maple are major culprits for spring allergies.
Grass Pollen: Grasses such as Bermuda grass, Timothy grass, and Ryegrass.

Mold Spores: Mold spores thrive in damp and humid environments when moisture levels increase. Mold spores can be found outdoors in soil, decaying vegetation, and mulch, as well as indoors such as basements and bathrooms.
Outdoor Activities: Spring weather often encourages outdoor activities and exposes individuals to higher concentrations of allergens.
Airborne Irritants: such as dust, pet dander, and air pollution can worsen allergic symptoms during the spring season.
