It’s that time of year again— spooky decorations are appearing in front yards 👻, morning air feels a bit crisper ❄️, and pumpkin spice can be found in everything from drinks to desserts and even toothpaste! With so much pumpkin spice around you might wonder, is it possible to be allergic to it? Well, pumpkin spice is made from a variety of ingredients including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. If you are allergic to any of these common herbs and spices, then you would also be allergic to pumpkin spice. Fortunately for those who love pumpkin spice, an allergic reaction from it is rare. Unfortunately for those who can’t stand the holiday flavor, it’s still going to be finding its way into more foods and products each year. Pumpkin spice ice cream anyone? 🍦
