Mugwort (pollen)
Pollen from mugwort plants, often causing respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals during its peak season.
Description
- Sneezing
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy, red, or watery eyes
- Itching of the throat or ears
- Coughing
- Asthma symptoms in asthmatics, such as wheezing or difficulty breathing
ndividuals with a mugwort pollen allergy may experience cross-reactivity with certain foods, a condition known as Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). These foods include:
- Celery
- Carrots
- Spices like coriander, fennel, and parsley
- Apples
- Kiwi
- Peanuts
If you experience allergy symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, or itchy eyes during late summer or early fall. If your symptoms worsen in areas where mugwort is prevalent. If you have food-related reactions that align with OAS, particularly after eating foods that cross-react with mugwort pollen. If standard over-the-counter allergy medications are not effective in controlling your symptoms.
Stay indoors on windy days or when the pollen count is high. Keep windows closed during the mugwort pollination season to prevent pollen from entering your home. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce indoor pollen. Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors to remove pollen from your body and hair. Consider using antihistamines, nasal sprays, or eye drops for symptom relief. For severe cases, consult with an allergist about the possibility of allergen immunotherapy.
