Is a Food Allergy Cause for Concern When Hiking or Playing Outside?
If your child has a food allergy, you may be wondering if exposure to pollen or leaves from the related plants (nut-bearing trees, for example) poses any danger. Allergist John James, MD, offers reassurance, noting that exposure to the leaves or pollen is not likely to cause a reaction, as the actual nut or protein (the allergen) would have to be eaten in order for a reaction to occur.
