Key Symptoms of Persimmon pollen Allergy

Runny or Blocked Nose

 

A significant symptom of Persimmon pollen allergy is a runny or blocked nose. This symptom results from allergens from Persimmon pollen trees irritating the nasal passageways, causing inflammation and increased mucus production.

Sneezing

 

Persistent sneezing is another major symptom of Persimmon pollen allergy. The allergens trigger the body's immune response, leading to histamine release and consequently causing bouts of sneezing.

Itchy and Watery eyes

 

The pollen allergens can irritate the eyes leading to itchiness and excessive watering. This is the body's defense mechanism to flush out the allergens.

Respiratory Distress

 

In some severe cases, the person suffering from Persimmon pollen allergy may have difficulty breathing. This could result from inflammation in the air passageways caused by the immune response to the allergens.

Skin Reactions

 

People allergic to Persimmon pollen may also experience skin reactions such as rashes, hives, or eczema. These reactions occur when the allergens come in contact with the skin, leading to an allergic response.

Fatigue

 

General tiredness or fatigue may also be experienced by those suffering from Persimmon pollen allergy. This symptom results from the body's continuous battle against the allergens, which can be draining over time.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Persimmon pollen

To understand whether you have a Persimmon pollen allergy, you need to identify the typical symptoms of this type of allergy and then confirm exposure to Persimmon pollen.

 

Identifying Symptoms of Persimmon Pollen Allergy

 

  • Watery, Red Eyes: Having watery, red, and itchy eyes could indicate a pollen allergy, including a Persimmon pollen allergy.
  • Itchy Throat or Mouth: An itchy or scratchy throat or mouth is a common symptom of pollen allergy.
  • Sneezing: Frequent bouts of sneezing could be an indication of a Persimmon pollen allergy.
  • Runny or Stuffy Nose: A clear runny nose or a stuffy nose may point to a pollen allergy.

 

Confirm Exposure to Persimmon Pollen

 

  • Geographical Location: Persimmon trees are most commonly found in East Asia. If you're located in this region, specifically in South Korea, China, and Japan, and experiencing the symptoms listed above, there's a chance you could be allergic to Persimmon pollen.
  • Timing: The pollination period for Persimmon trees is between late March and early May. If your symptoms emerge or worsen around this time of year, it's more likely your allergies could be related to Persimmon pollen.

 

If you've identified these symptoms and factors, it would be best to visit an allergist or immunologist for further testing and confirmation of a Persimmon pollen allergy.

Tips for Avoiding Persimmon pollen Allergy

‍

Avoid Direct Contact

 

One of the most effective ways to avoid persimmon pollen allergy is to avoid direct contact with the plant. If you are aware that you are allergic to this type of pollen, aim to avoid areas where persimmon trees are in bloom particularly during the spring season.

Wear Protective Clothing

 

If you cannot completely avoid exposure to persimmon trees, especially during the pollinating season, it is recommended to wear protective clothing. This includes wearing a wide brimmed hat, glasses, and long-sleeved clothes which can help reduce the chance of the pollen coming into contact with your skin, eyes or being inhaled.

Regular Cleaning

 

Persimmon pollen can cling to clothing, hair and even pets. Therefore, it's important to regularly clean and wash these items. This includes taking a shower and washing your hair after coming in from outside and laundering your clothes more frequently during the pollen season.

Consider Allergy Medication

 

If you are allergic to persimmon pollen and some exposure is inevitable, consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine or talking to your healthcare provider about prescription options. These can help control the allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching and watery eyes.

Diet to Ease Persimmon pollen Allergy Symptoms

Include Anti-Inflammatory Foods

 

Throughout, focus on foods that curb inflammation. The anti-inflammatory diet includes:

 

  • Fruits and Vegetables: A large variety of colored fruits and vegetables, especially berries and leafy greens which are high in antioxidants and bioflavonoids.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel, sardines), chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, and olive oil can help reduce inflammation.
  • Probiotic Foods: These include fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi, which may help boost the immune system and reduce allergic reactions.

 

Stay Hydrated

 

Staying hydrated helps to thin the mucus in the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, or hydrating fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumbers, and celery.

 

Maintain a Balanced Diet

 

Keep your diet balanced and healthy overall. Adequate protein intake is essential for antibody production and may boost your immune response. Foods rich in vitamin C and E, zinc, and selenium also have immune-boosting properties.

 

Quercetin

 

Some studies suggest that quercetin, a flavonoid found in many fruits, vegetables, leaves, and grains, can help block the release of histamines, chemicals that cause allergic reactions. Foods high in quercetin include apples, berries, red grapes, red onions, capers, and black tea.

 

Bromelain

 

Bromelain, found in pineapples, can help reduce mucus production and swelling, easing nose and sinus symptoms. It may be particularly effective when paired with quercetin.

What Food Worsens Persimmon pollen Allergy

Understanding Food Interactions with Persimmon Pollen Allergy

 

Persimmon pollen allergy can be exacerbated by certain foods, due to a phenomenon known as Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). This occurs when the proteins in certain foods mimic those of the pollen, thus triggering an allergic reaction. For individuals allergic to persimmon pollen, the following foods may worsen the symptoms:

 

  • Certain fruits: Apples, pears, cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines and apricots carry similar proteins to persimmon pollen. Consuming these fruits might worsen persimmon pollen allergy symptoms. Any fruit from the Rosaceae family could potentially exacerbate the allergy.
  • Nuts and spices: Almonds and hazelnuts, along with certain spices like parsley, coriander, caraway, and anise seeds could worsen the symptoms as they also contain proteins akin to those found in persimmon pollen.
  • Raw vegetables & legumes: Certain raw vegetables like carrots and celery, along with legumes such as beans, peas, and lentils may intensify your persimmon pollen allergy due to cross-reactivity.

 

It is important to note that reactions can vary from person to person. Not everyone with a persimmon pollen allergy will react to the same foods and even the degree of reaction can vary. If you believe you are reacting to certain foods because of your persimmon pollen allergy, it is important to consult with an allergist.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can persimmon pollen allergy be related to other fruit allergies?

 

Persimmon Pollen Allergy and Cross-Reactivity

 

  • Persimmon pollen allergy can indeed be related to other fruit allergies due to cross-reactivity. Proteins in persimmon can resemble those in other fruits, triggering similar allergic reactions.

    •  

  • Common cross-reactive fruits include apples, bananas, and peaches due to similar protein structures, particularly from the PR-10 protein family.

    •  

  • People with persimmon allergies may experience oral allergy syndrome (OAS), where the immune system reacts to proteins in both pollen and related foods.

 

Are there specific tests to diagnose persimmon pollen allergy?

 

Tests for Persimmon Pollen Allergy

 

  • **Skin Prick Test (SPT):** A small amount of persimmon pollen extract is placed on the skin, typically the forearm, to check for an allergic reaction.

    •  

  • **Specific IgE Blood Test:** Measures the presence of IgE antibodies to persimmon pollen in the blood, indicating an allergic response.

    •  

  • **RAST Test (Radioallergosorbent Test):** Used to detect specific allergen-related antibodies, although less common due to advancements in testing methods.

 

Is cross-reactivity common with persimmon pollen allergy?

 

Cross-Reactivity in Persimmon Pollen Allergy

 

  • Persimmon pollen allergy is relatively uncommon, but it can still cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

    •  

  • Cross-reactivity may occur with other pollens, especially from plants in the same family or those sharing similar proteins.

    •  

  • Typically, cross-reactivity is noted with other members of the Ebenaceae family and potentially some fruits and nuts in individuals with concomitant oral allergy syndrome (OAS).
