Cross-reactivity between weeds and fruits occurs when a person with an allergy to the pollen of certain weeds (e.g., mugwort, ragweed, pigweed) also reacts to specific fruits with allergic symptoms. This happens due to the similarity of proteins found in both weed pollen and some fruits. For example, a person allergic to mugwort may experience a reaction to oranges, bananas, watermelons, etc., due to the similarity of proteins in these fruits.

The "Cross-Reactivity: Weeds - Fruits" package is a useful tool for identifying cross-reactivity between weed pollen and specific fruits. Components included in this package, such as orange, banana, watermelon, melon, grapefruit, and vanilla, are common causes of allergic reactions in individuals with weed pollen allergies.

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