Ordinary Allergy

allergies, but these factors can worsen symptoms

CELERY

You may already know that

peaches and apples can exacerbate

symptoms in people with pollen

allergies, but it turns out that

celery can as well. Both

tongue, so if you

have a pollen allergy,

steer clear. And be sure to read the

labels on packaged foods – celery

is often an ingredient in soups and

salad dressings.
