Orange

Appelsinallergi er en immunrespons mot visse proteiner som finnes i appelsiner. Selv om det er mindre vanlig enn noen andre matallergier, kan det forårsake negative reaksjoner hos sensitive individer. Reaksjonene kan variere fra milde orale allergisymptomer til mer alvorlige systemiske effekter, og de kan oppstå både ved inntak av appelsiner og ved eksponering for appelsinskall eller juice.
