Cut Trees to Reduce Oral Allergy Syndrome?
In a previous entry, I've written about how some people with pollen allergies may also have cross-reactions and show symptoms of allergies to certain food, a condition termed as oral allergy syndrome. For example, if you're allergic to birch pollen, you may also show allergic reactions to kiwifruit, apples, hazelnuts, carrots, cherries, peaches, pears, tomatoes, celery and potato peels.

Now I now what a pain hay fever or allergic rhinitis can be. Add cross-reaction issues and it's easy to see how allergies can reduce the quality of life, but would cutting down trees be the solution?
Professor Ian Spellerberg, director of the Isaac Centre for Nature Conservation at Lincoln University, said Christchurchlinks and other areas should consider removing birches in public places.

Getting rid of the 3000 public trees in Christchurch alone could cost more than $3 million.


I guess, it's ok, as long as they replace the trees that are to be fell down with something harmless. Otherwise, there's got to be some other solution!
