What happened

An apple a day may keep the doctor away but maybe not if you have seasonal allergies.

Why it matters

Certain foods contain proteins that are nearly identical to pollen allergens, so if you’re already sneezing, they can trigger an allergic reaction — like an itchy throat or tingling and swollen lips.

Common ground

It’s called cross-reactivity or oral allergy syndrome.

Claim 2: “It’s called cross-reactivity or oral allergy syndrome.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states that the condition is called cross-reactivity or oral allergy syndrome. While the evidence for Claim 0 strongly implies this concept (using terms like 'cross-reactivity'), the specific term 'oral allergy syndrome' is not directly confirmed by the provided web search results. The web results for this claim index are entirely irrelevant (discussing 'status', 'condition', and 'jobs') and do not support the medical claim.
