Those with pollen allergies may develop hives as a reaction to some plants and foods. The Mayo Clinic describes this as cross-reactivity, in which a fruit or vegetable may trigger a flare up, usually felt as a tingle or itch in the mouth. Even bananas and apples can cause a reaction.
When the antibody binds to the fruit or vegetable protein, anyone allergic to the similar pollens may develop an immune response that usually lasts only for a few, if uncomfortable, minutes. In rare instances, the reaction can bypass the mouth and enter the gastrointestinal tract, causing cramps and nausea. If you're allergic to birch pollen, say, you might be prone to an oral allergy to apples, pears, peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, hazelnuts, and kiwis. An allergy to the weed mugwort can spell trouble with vegetables and spices of the parsley family, including carrots, celery, dill, and cumin.
