Allergy Info

Authoritative scientific studies have found that some types of honey, such as that of alfalfa, have antiallergic properties and can be taken to fight allergies. Honey itself does not cause allergic reactions, but can be a carrier of allergy triggers, such as pollen, bee venom or fructose. Although statistically rare, the allergic reaction to honey intake is still present in a small portion of the population. The higher the quality of honey, the rarer are the chances of activating allergic manifestations.

In case of doubts about the possibility of triggering an allergic reaction with honey, it is advisable to start with a small amount, gradually increasing it in the absence of reactions.

The symptoms of a possible allergy after taking honey occur almost instantly and are: generalized itching, unpleasant sensation in the mouth, sore throat, swelling, abdominal pain, cough, vomiting and diarrhea (nausea), angioedema, asthma.

In the presence of one or more of these symptoms related to the intake of honey, we invite you to immediately stop taking the product and contact your doctor for any anti-histamine therapy.
