This is also referred to as a pollen-associated food allergy - it is the most common form of cross-reaction.
Typical are oral allergy symptoms such as itchiness in the mouth, Tingling of the lips or palate, swelling or a furry feeling in the throat. These symptoms often occur within minutes of consumption and are usually harmless - in rare cases, however, they can also lead to systemic reactions such as shortness of breath or a skin rash.

- Birch pollen: Apple, hazelnut, carrot, celery, soya
- Grass pollen: tomato, peanut, wheat
- Mugwort pollen: Celery, Carrots, Herbs, Spices
- Latex: banana, avocado, kiwi, sweet chestnut
Therapeutic help Allergen avoidance, gentle preparation (e.g. heating destroys many heat-inducing substances). Heating destroys many heat-labile allergens) and - in severe cases - hyposensitisation to the primary allergen (e.g. birch pollen). In addition, immunomodulation with lactoferrin, Vitamin C, Quercetin or Omega-3 fatty acids may be useful to inflammatory processes and to mitigate histamine reactions .
