  • Oral Allergy Syndrome
    ORAL ALLERGY SYNDROME What is Oral Allergy Syndrome? Oral allergy syndrome is an allergic reaction to certain proteins in a variety of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. This syndrome occurs in some people with pollen allergies. Symptoms usually affect the mouth and throat. These reactions are not related to pesticides, metals or other substances. Who is affected and what pollens are involved? Most people who have oral allergy syndrome also have seasonal allergies (hay fever). Older children and adults are the most likely to have this syndrome. You have a higher risk of this syndrome if you are allergic to the pollens of: - Birch Tree - Grass - Ragweed - English Plantain (weed) - Mugwort (sage) These reactions can occur at any time of the year. However, symptoms may be worse during the pollen season. What are the symptoms and when do they occur? Symptoms typically include itching and burning of the lips, mouth and throat. Some people also have watery, itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. Sometimes peeling or touching the foods may result in a rash, itching or swelling where the juice touches the skin. Occasionally, reactions may lead to hives and swelling of the mouth, throat and airway. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions have been reported such as vomiting, diarrhea, asthma, generalized hives, and anaphylactic shock. Symptoms usually develop within minutes of eating, drinking or touching the fresh/raw food. Occasionally, symptoms occur more than an hour later. Are all reactions to fruits and vegetables associated with oral allergy syndrome? No. A variety of fruits, vegetables and their juices (including orange, tomato, apple and grape) sometimes cause skin rashes and diarrhea.

  • Oral Allergy Syndrome
    Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust Children’s Allergy Clinic Oral allergy syndrome Information for parents What is oral allergy syndrome? • In the common form, oral allergy syndrome usually causes redness, itching, burning and swelling of the lips, inside of the mouth, tongue and soft palate. A child will often refuse the food once it starts irritating their mouth. • Occasionally itching and swelling of the throat occurs. Other reactions such as hives (similar to nettle rash), conjunctivitis (itchy, watery eyes), rhinitis (inflammation inside the nose), asthma, nausea and vomiting may occur later. • Severe symptoms such as anaphylactic shock or breathing problems are rare. What are the causes? • Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is usually caused by an allergy to certain fruit and vegetables, especially when eaten raw. • Reactions to the same foods when they are cooked are less likely but can sometimes happen. The skin of certain fruit and vegetables can cause a reaction. • OAS is also associated with an allergy to pollen, especially from silver birch, but also grasses, ragweed (ragwort) and mugwort. 75% of people with silver birch allergy will have OAS. Allergic rhinitis symptoms may flare up when these pollens are in season. • OAS can also occur in people allergic to rubber latex. What to do if a child has an allergic reaction If an allergic reaction occurs, the child should stop eating the food immediately and spit it out. Give the child a dose of antihistamine. In the unlikely event that a severe reaction occurs, then dial 999 for an ambulance. page 2 OAS reactions are usually immediate and occur within 1-5 minutes of the problem food coming into contact with the mouth.

  • Effects of Different Plant Products Against Pig Mange Mites
    ACTA VET. BRNO 2006, 75: 283–287 Effects of Different Plant Products against Pig Mange Mites E. MÄGI1, T. JÄRVIS1, I. MILLER1 1Estonian University of Life Sciences, Institute of the Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Tartu, Estonia Received November 4, 2005 Accepted March 16, 2006 Abstract Mägi, E., T. Järvis, I. Miller: Effects of Different Plant Products against Pig Mange Mites. Acta Vet. Brno 2006, 75: 283-287. The objective of this study was to determine the antiparasitic efficiency of herbal-based products. Four medicinal plant species extracts in 10% ethanol solutions (hogweed Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden, mugwort Artemisia vulgaris L., tansy Tanacetum vulgare L., wormwood Artemisia absinthium L.), and seven essential medicinal ethereal oils used in 1% emulsions (garlic Allium sativum L., black pepper Piper nigrum L., juniper Juniperus communis L., citronella grass Cymbopogon nardus Rendle, pennyroyal Mentha pulegium L., eucalyptus Eucalyptus globulus Labill., tea tree Melaleuca alternifolia Gheel) were tested a on pig farm in Estonia to control swine sarcoptic mange mites (Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis (L. 1758) Latreille, 1802). Trial groups (6 pigs each) were treated over the whole body twice, with one week interval in between; one group was left as untreated control. All the preparations used inhibited the development of and were more or less lethal to mange mites. Tea tree and citronella volatile oil preparations proved to be the most effective (viability of mites < 5% in 4 weeks). The most active extract of tested ethanol solutions was obtained from hogweed seeds: after two treatments of pigs, 57 - 93% of parasites died in 2 - 4 weeks.
