A member asked:
I was tested by an allergist & found out i'm allergic to basil. i've been avoiding it, but i'm still having allergic reactions. is it another herb?

Something else: Basil allergy must be extremely rare and thus I do not consider it to be your problem. A positive skin test alone does not indicate necessarily a true allergic reaction. It would be helpful if you can tell us more about the type of reaction you have since it may not even be an allergic one at all.
