Allergen,Individual-Tree pollen Alder Alnus Incana
Overview
Alders are deciduous trees or large shrubs that often grow together in moist soils in wooded areas of North America. All species have windborne pollen which has been reported to be a significant allergenic cause. People sensitive to one alder species are usually sensitive to all species.
An allergy to Alder (Alnus Incana) triggers a reaction in an individual's immune system. The body views certain substances as toxic and produces IgE antibodies to these contaminants. These antibodies cause histamine to be released, which will cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
