You could react to the whole family, but you might not.  I'm pretty severely allergic to rose hips.  I can have other fruits in the rose family, provided I'm not having a nasty time with OAS due to pollen in the air.

I never thought so many foods could ever be connected :(

My DD tests allergic to all of those - so far her reactions have been OAS -  those fruits are related to her birch tree allergy.

I was doing the same with the spelling. All these food allergens/ intolerances have my head spinning.

I'm just more and more paranoid about food now..

Thank you for the clarification! In my defense, I haven't had enough coffee today. I'll stick with that excuse.


Weezer I would be very cautious around the other members of that family and maybe avoid them, however I have experienced being allergic to some members of the carrot family but not others.

rosaceae (plant family), not rosacea (skin condition)

Not the best source but:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosaceae



Is it possible this is Oral Allergy Syndrome?

What so you mean by "rosacea allergy?"  Are you saying that the symptom from exposure to these fruits causes rosacea?

You could have a true allergy to threat fruits, in which case you should treat it like a food allergy and have an action plan in case of anaphylaxis. Or it could be oral allergy syndrome, which mimics a food allergy.

If I appear to be allergic to plums, Cherry's, pears and peaches should I treat this as Rosaceae allergy?
