Cross-reactivity between weeds and vegetables occurs when a person with an allergy to the
pollen of certain weeds (e.g., mugwort, ragweed, pigweed) also reacts to specific vegetables
with allergic symptoms. This happens due to the similarity of proteins found in both weed
pollen and some vegetables. For example, a person allergic to mugwort may experience a
reaction to potatoes, eggplants, etc., due to the similarity of proteins in these vegetables.
The Cross-Reactivity: Weeds - Vegetables" package is a valuable tool for identifying cross-
reactivity between weed pollen and specific vegetables. Components included in this
package, such as sunflower and sunflower seeds, potato, cucumber, onion, beet, cabbage,
garlic, eggplant, paprika, parsley, celery, dill, cauliflower, and spinach, 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
vegetables 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.
