An allergy is an exaggerated reaction of the body when an allergen (be it dust, pollen, food, hair, etc.) enters it. Normally, nothing would happen, but some of us have the “misfortune” of having a hard time at those times. And it happens even worse when you love gardening but your body reacts with sneezing and itchy noses when surrounded by plants. Is there anything we can do to avoid it?
Yes! Apart from taking the antihistamine medications prescribed by the specialist doctor, we have to avoid being around or buying the worst plants for allergy suffererswhich are the ones that I am going to show you next.
Acacia
Our acacia trees They are mostly evergreen trees that become really beautiful during spring and autumn. Its flowers grouped in inflorescences almost completely hide the foliagewhile more than one and more than two go with the handkerchief in hand.
Olive
El olive It is an evergreen tree that can reach an approximate height of 6-7 meters. Being a tree that has female and male flowers in the same specimen, releases a large amount of pollen in the air. Over the years, it is very common for a person to end up with a significant allergy to said pollen.
Margherita
La margarita it is a herbaceous well known to all. It grows to a height of approximately 30-40 centimeters and is very pretty. It produces white flowers, which is the most common variety, but also yellow during spring. Another thing it does is produce large amounts of pollen that, although it does not depend on the wind to be transported, can cause allergies.
Sunflower
El sunflower it is the undisputed flower of summer. This is quite large, and can measure up to 20cm in diameter, which indicates that produces a lot of pollen. Unfortunately or fortunately, it is a plant that only blooms for a few weeks.
Gerbera
La gerbera or African daisy, is a beautiful herbaceous plant that reaches 30 centimeters in height and produces flowers of very different colors, such as red, orange or pink. Although they do not have a scent, this does not mean that they cannot cause an allergic reaction.so you have to avoid having it.
Gypsophila
The Gypsophila is a plant that until recently was only found growing wild, but its ornamental value is so high that many people are encouraged to sow its seeds to enjoy them in their patios or gardens. But if we have a pollen allergy, it would be better not to approach.
Do you have an allergy to any of these plants? Undoubtedly, there are not all those that cause sneezing, itching and other typical symptoms, but they are the most common plants.
