Cross-reactivity between meadow grasses, vegetables, and grains occurs when a person allergic to the pollen of certain meadow grasses (e.g., Timothy grass) also reacts to specific vegetables and grains with allergic symptoms. This happens due to the similarity of proteins found in both the pollen of meadow grasses and some vegetables and grains.

For example, a person allergic to Timothy grass may react to wheat, potato, tomato, etc., due to the similarity
of proteins in these foods.

The Cross-Reactivity: Meadow Grasses - Vegetables package is a useful tool for identifying
cross-reactivity between meadow grass pollen and certain vegetables and grains. Included
components such as wheat, soy, potato, tomato, rice, oat, corn, millet, barley, rye, and white
bean are the most 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 foods 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.
