Some proteins found in raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds are similar to the proteins in pollen. This can cause your immune system to get confused and start an allergic reaction known as oral allergy syndrome (OAS) or pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS).

Symptoms of PFAS can be similar to those of a food allergy. Common symptoms of PFAS include:

- itchy or tingling mouth, tongue, or throat
- swelling of the mouth, lips, tongue, and throat
- hives where the food touched their skin

अस्थमा आपकी राह में रुकावट नही बनेगा, कभी नही।

🌟🏅 The Olympics inspire us all with incredible feats of strength, speed, and determination! But did you know that many elite athletes also manage asthma? 🌬️

Asthma doesn't have to hold anyone back from reaching their dreams. Did you know asthma is the most common chronic condition among Olympic athletes? In fact, a study of the five Summer and Winter Olympic Games between 2002 and 2010 found approximately 8% of Olympians had asthma. But these athletes have shown that with the right management and support, anything is possible. 💪

What can you learn from elite athletes in terms of managing your asthma?
🫁See a board-certified allergist or pulmonologist for a complete diagnosis and work together to develop an Asthma Action Plan.
🗓If you are diagnosed with asthma and exercise is a trigger, your allergist may prescribe an inhaled corticosteroid to take daily.
🏃‍♂️‍➡Use a prescribed quick-relief albuterol inhaler 15-30 minutes before exercise and if symptoms arise during or after exercise.
👟Warm up 15-20 minutes before competition or exercise. This can reduce the chances of airway constriction during exercise.
💧Stay hydrated and cool down after exercise by slowly walking and stretching for several minutes.
☀️If you exercise outdoors, check local air quality reports online. Air pollution may be an asthma trigger for runners, cyclists and other athletes.

As we cheer on our favorite athletes, let's also raise awareness about asthma and encourage those living with it to pursue their passions. With proper care, everyone can achieve their own personal gold. 🥇

Some of the symptoms of food intolerance and food allergy are similar, but the differences between the two are very important. Eating a food you are intolerant to can leave you feeling miserable. However, if you have a true food allergy, your body’s reaction to this food could be life-threatening.

Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) happens when people with pollen allergies to trees, grasses or weeds develop mild allergy symptoms around the mouth after eating raw fruits or vegetables. Symptoms may get worse during pollen season. This happens because some fruits and vegetables are botanically related to what is pollinating.

This time of year, for example, birch trees will begin pollinating. If you have a birch tree allergy, you may get some oral symptoms from botanical foods like apples or celery.
