People allergic to apricot pollen often experience nasal symptoms like a runny nose, nasal congestion, and continuous sneezing. They may also develop sinus pressure which can cause facial pain.
Respiratory symptoms include difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and chest tightness. In severe cases, it may also lead to asthma attacks in asthmatic individuals.
Red, itchy, and watery eyes are common ocular symptoms in individuals allergic to apricot pollen. In some instances, they may also experience swelling around the eyes.
Apricot pollen can cause various skin reactions such as rashes, eczema, and hives. These reactions typically appear where the skin has come into contact with the pollen.
This syndrome triggers a number of reactions in the mouth and throat area such as itching, tingling, and mild swelling immediately after eating fresh apricots or any food that contains apricot pollen.
This is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and loss of consciousness. It requires immediate medical attention.

Recognize the Symptoms of Pollen Allergies
The symptoms of pollen allergies, including those specifically to Apricot pollen, are similar to the common cold and other allergies. Observing these symptoms can help you understand whether you are experiencing an allergic reaction:
Identify Exposure to Apricot Pollen
If you're experiencing symptoms consistent with pollen allergies and have been in contact with Apricot trees, particularly during their bloom in spring, this might point to an Apricot pollen allergy. Apricots are susceptible to cross-reactivity with other members of the Rosaceae family, such as peaches and apples, so consider if you have similar symptoms around these trees or their fruits.
Consult a Specialist
Diagnosing a specific Apricot pollen allergy requires proper medical testing. If you suspect you may have this allergy, you should consult an allergist or immunologist who can conduct skin prick tests or blood tests to identify specific allergen sensitivities.

Am I eligible?
If you have a known apricot pollen allergy, one of the best ways to avoid symptoms is by avoiding the periods when apricot trees are in bloom. This is usually in the spring. Keep an eye on local pollen reports and consider staying indoors when apricot pollen counts are high.
Investing in a high-quality air purifier can be effectively used to filter out apricot pollen and keep your indoor air clean. Air purifiers with a HEPA filter are particularly effective because they can remove most, if not all, airborne particles, including pollen.
When you need to step out during high pollen count days, wearing sunglasses can help protect your eyes from annoying pollen particles. Covering your nose and mouth with a mask or a scarf can give an added layer of protection by preventing pollen from being inhaled.
If you find it hard to manage your apricot pollen allergy, seeking medical advice can provide relief and help you better manage your symptoms. Allergists can carry out tests to determine specific allergens and prescribe suitable treatment methods such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, or allergen immunotherapy.
