Rockin’ around the Christmas tree…” For some, though, the pine can bring more sneezes than cheer. Do you love the idea of a fresh Christmas tree, but find yourself sneezing or with itchy eyes as soon as you bring it indoors? Maybe trimming the tree leads to coughing fits or a stuffy nose?  This could be an indicator that you’re reacting negatively to pine.

Other signs could include:

• Coughing
• Asthma-like symptoms
• Skin irritation, such as rashes or hives
• Fatigue or general discomfort

If you’re experiencing one or more of these issues and you have pine trees or pine products in your home, especially around Christmas time, it might be time to test and see what’s going on.

What is a pine allergy?

A pine allergy happens when your immune system reacts to proteins found in the pollen, sap, or oils of pine trees. The seasonal nature of this allergy often peaks around Christmas when people bring pine trees into their homes for the holidays.

Why can a pine allergy be a problem?

While many of us associate pine trees with the festive season, the presence of a real Christmas tree can cause discomfort for those with allergies. Left unchecked, these allergic reactions can exacerbate respiratory problems and make the holiday season less enjoyable.

What should I do if I suspect a pine allergy?

If you’re feeling any of the symptoms described above, it’s important to realise that these are not normal reactions. Thankfully, if you suspect a pine allergy, there are steps you can take.

The best next step is to take an allergy test to determine if pine is indeed causing your discomfort. Armed with this information, you can make informed choices during the holiday season and beyond.
