The issue of pollen allergy is a rather sensitive one. In fact, most people have misconceptions about pollen allergy, where it is important to clarify the two concepts of pollen allergy and allergy caused by consuming pollen. Pollen allergy is some people in the process of breathing, inhalation of airborne pollen, it will sneeze, runny nose, accompanied by the palate, external auditory canal, nasal mucosa, conjunctiva and other symptoms of itching, clinical manifestations similar to a cold, the skin test, can be identified as pollen allergy.
Pollen allergy is a frequent and common disease that can break out into seasonal epidemics. This disease has a clear seasonal, every year in the flowering of plants (in the north, March to May trees bloom, August to September weeds bloom) with the flowers and flowers fall and go, pollen allergy sufferers disease disappeared. In the next year, the flowers bloom again, and then the disease, and so on and so forth. If not treated in time, the patient's symptoms can be aggravated year by year, the onset of time is also lengthened, and finally by the seasonal disease into perennial disease.
Therefore, pollen allergy is an allergic reaction triggered by contact with pollen through the surface of the nose and eyes, which is a completely different concept from the consumption of bee pollen. We say that there are two kinds of pollen: wind-borne pollen, i.e., pollen spread by wind, and insect-borne pollen, i.e., pollen spread by insects. According to the definition of pollen allergy, it is obvious that pollen allergy is caused by wind-borne pollen, and not all pollens cause pollen allergy. In China, the pollen plants that are strong allergens are Artemisia, ragweed and Japanese willow; the pollen plants that are important allergens are Rudbeckia (commonly known as Larix), French sycamore, ash tree, wild amaranth, stinking toon, cypress, and structural tree, etc.; the pollen plants that are more important allergens are Quercus serrata, Birch, maple poplar, Walnut, Elm, Poplar, Willow, Corn, Ginkgo, Willow Fir, Rapeseed, Spinach, etc.; and the pollen plants that are weak allergens are Pine, Sophora japonica, Spruce, etc. Bee pollen as an insect pollen is obviously not the "main culprit" of pollen allergy. People have indeed "wronged" it. On the contrary, according to foreign research, bee pollen can also treat pollen allergies! In fact, the consumption of bee pollen caused by allergic reactions is very rare, consumers do not have to worry about this problem.
