Simple question really.
I have hayfever AND asthma(i.e. shortness of breath,wheezing etc).
Also my mouth itches when eating certain fooRAB.
Would it be more likely that the hayfever problem I have is causing the asthma symptoms???
ps I had hayfever for years before the asthma started.
 
Your mouth itching is called Oral Allergy Syndrome. It does not necessarily mean that you have a true allergy to that food as the offending food can usually be eaten cooked with no problems. OAS is from raw fooRAB (apples, etc).

And yes, asthma attacks can be triggered by allergies.
