A member asked:

I am allergic to white lilies. my first contact was white lily extract, not pollen. does this mean that i should avoid all forms/colors of lily?

Yes: The best treatment for allergy is avoidance. I presume that your reaction is an itchy skin rash from the contact. The color of the flower does not impact the allergen in the plant.
