Related pollen, plant (latex) and food allergies

The table shows how foods and pollen allergies can be related through the existence of common allergens that are shared by the pollen (or by natural latex) and the related foods.  If you are allergic to the pollen on the left, you may have symptoms when you eat one or several of the foods on the right.  If so, those foods should be avoided.  However, unless you have been instructed otherwise, you only need to avoid foods that have caused symptoms, not all the foods on the list.  This kind of food allergy problem almost always causes mild and relatively harmless symptoms.
