A member asked:
If you have allergies to different pollens is it likely you'll be allergic to orange pekoe and other types of tea since it's made from plants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You should be fine. There is definitely Food / Pollen allergic cross reactivity between pollens and certain common fruits as in the "Oral Allergy Syndrome" but this tends not to occur with plants in general.
