Navigating Mugwort Cross-Reactive Foods: Your Essential Travel Dining Guide

Traveling with a mugwort allergy can be daunting, especially when unfamiliar menus hide sneaky cross-reactive ingredients. Our guide helps you dine safely worldwide using the mm food app’s innovative features.

Understanding Mugwort Cross-Reactivity

Mugwort pollen allergies often trigger cross-reactions with foods like:

• Celery
• Carrots
• Apples
• Peppers
• Sunflower seeds
• Spices (e.g., coriander, fennel)

These foods share proteins similar to mugwort pollen, potentially causing oral allergy syndrome (OAS).
