Warning Label: “Not suitable for individuals with pollen allergies”
This label often appears on herbal teas, yet its meaning is sometimes overlooked. For individuals with pollen allergies, it’s crucial information.
People allergic to pollen are often sensitive to certain plant proteins that can remain active even after drying and brewing. Flower-based herbal teas can trigger reactions such as itchy throat, sneezing, nasal congestion, or difficulty breathing.
