Sitrusblanding
Citrusmixallergi refererer til en allergisk reaksjon på en kombinasjon av sitrusfrukter uten å spesifisere individuelle typer. Denne kategorien inkluderer ofte appelsiner, sitroner, lime, grapefrukt, og kan også omfatte mandariner, pomelo og relaterte varianter. Reaksjonen utløses av proteiner som er felles for disse fruktene, og kan forårsake ulike allergisymptomer.
