  • Red Currant, f322

Cross-reactivity between meadow grasses, fruits, and nuts occurs when a person allergic to
the pollen of certain meadow grasses (e.g., Timothy grass) also reacts to specific fruits with
allergic symptoms. This happens due to the similarity of proteins found in both meadow grass
pollen and some fruits. For example, a person allergic to Timothy grass may experience a
reaction to oranges, strawberries, etc., due to the similarity of proteins in these fruits.
The Cross-Reactivity: Meadow Grasses - Fruits package is a useful tool for identifying
cross-reactivity between meadow grass pollen and specific fruits. Included components such
as peanut, orange, strawberry, peach, and red currant are common causes of allergic
reactions in people suffering from meadow grass pollen allergies.

Conducting this analysis helps identify possible cross-reactions between meadow grass
pollen and the fruits included in this package, aiding patients in avoiding potentially dangerous
foods and taking appropriate precautions. This approach helps reduce the risk of allergic
reactions and improves the quality of life for people with allergies.
