Cross-reactivity between ribwort plantain pollen and certain foods is not well-documented. However, people with hay fever (allergic rhinitis) due to various pollen types might experience Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) symptoms with related foods, although specific cross-reactive foods for ribwort plantain are less commonly identified.
If you exhibit allergy symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, or itchy eyes during the pollination season of ribwort plantain. If your symptoms seem to be triggered by exposure to lawns or natural fields where ribwort plantain might be present. If over-the-counter allergy medications are not providing sufficient relief. If you experience respiratory issues like asthma that seem to worsen seasonally.
Stay indoors during high pollen times, especially on windy days or during early morning hours. Keep windows closed during the ribwort plantain pollination season to prevent pollen from entering your home. Use air filters or purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce indoor pollen levels. Shower and change clothes after outdoor exposure to remove pollen. Consider using antihistamines, nasal sprays, or other allergy medications as recommended by a healthcare provider. In cases of severe allergies, consult with an allergist about possible long-term treatments, such as immunotherapy.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.
