In a food-pollen allergy, the primary problem is the pollen, not the food itself. Those with pollen allergy experience unpleasant reactions after eating fresh fruits and raw, uncooked vegetables and certain seeds and nuts. The body's immune system recognizes and essentially mistakes a plant protein in the food for pollen, and this irritant triggers what allergy specialists call a cross-reaction.
This is called the 'food-pollen allergy syndrome' which causes itchy or swollen lips, scratchiness on the roof of the mouth, etc. Most allergists agree that pollen allergy symptoms appear no more than half an hour after eating. Although symptoms can be serious, most reactions of pollen allergy are minor and occur in the mouth or throat. Take necessary prevention and you will be safe this summer.

The new vaccine was developed by isolating the protein shed by cats that causes t he most allergic reactions, and then using blood samples from people with cat allergies to determine which segment of that protein was causing the trouble. They then made a synthetic version of these segments called peptides for use in the vaccine.

He says that one doesn't have to go underground when an allergy shoots up. All you need to do is to reduce the inflammation in your body to reduce the allergy by increasing the intake of Vitamin D3. Adequate consumption of Vitamin C can help in fighting the added stress and Vitamin A in removing the mucus from the body.
Most importantly, he says Vitamin B12 attunes the imbalance of bacteria that occurs in the gut of most allergy sufferers.
