People with a pistachio pollen allergy may experience various skin reactions. Symptoms can include hives, itching, and eczema. These are typically characterized by red, inflamed, itchy patches on the skin, often with some swelling.
This kind of allergy can cause various respiratory issues such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and asthma. The symptoms usually occur due to the body's reaction to the allergen leading to inflammation in the lungs and airways.
Pistachio pollen allergy may also manifest as nasal symptoms. These can include runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. The body reacts to the allergen by releasing histamines, which result in these symptoms.
Eye symptoms such as itching, redness, tearing, and swelling of the eyes can be present in individuals with a pistachio pollen allergy. The allergen triggers an immune response causing inflammation and irritation in the eyes.
Some people with an allergy to pistachio pollen may experience abdominal discomfort. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, and diarrhea. These develop as the allergic reaction affects the digestive system.
In severe cases, exposure to pistachio pollen might cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, sudden drop in blood pressure, and loss of consciousness. Anaphylaxis requires immediate medical attention.
Recognize your symptoms?
Understand Specific Symptoms
Track Your Symptoms
Keep a track of when your allergy symptoms appear and what you were doing or had eaten prior to their appearance. If you notice that symptoms often appear soon after consuming pistachios, it's a strong indication of a possible Pistachio pollen allergy.
Get Allergy Testing
If you suspect you have a Pistachio pollen allergy, an allergist can confirm your suspicion with a skin prick test or a blood test. These tests measure your immune system's response to pistachio proteins and can help confirm a diagnosis.
Take Note of Cross-Reactions
Some people might experience allergic symptoms due to cross-reactivity, which occurs when the proteins in one substance are similar to the proteins in another. For example, if you are allergic to Pistachio pollen, you might also react to the pollen from other trees like the Mango.

Am I eligible?
One of the most straightforward ways to prevent a reaction to pistachio pollen is to avoid consuming pistachios altogether. Pistachio pollen allergies are caused by a reaction to a protein in the nuts, and abstaining from eating them is a simple way to ensure you do not encounter this protein.
Wearing a mask, especially during the spring season when pollen counts are high, can help prevent inhaling pistachio pollen. This is particularly important if you live near pistachio trees or are visiting an area where these trees are prevalent.
Over-the-counter medications, such as antihistamines, can help control symptoms of an allergic reaction, including those caused by pistachio pollen. These medications do not prevent allergies but can significantly lessen the symptoms.
If you suspect you have a pistachio pollen allergy but are uncertain, consult with an allergist. A professional can perform an allergy test to ascertain your sensitivity to pistachio pollen and guide you on how to manage your allergies.
