Persimmon Allergies: Symptoms, Diagnosis, And Prevention
Persimmon allergic reactions are an immune response to certain proteins found in persimmons. Symptoms range from mild (e.g., nasal congestion, eye irritation) to severe (e.g., anaphylaxis). Cross-reactivity with latex and oral allergy syndrome are related concepts. Diagnosis involves allergy testing, while management focuses on avoidance and treatment of symptoms. If you suspect a persimmon allergy, it’s crucial to consult an allergist for testing and guidance on avoidance strategies to prevent severe reactions.
