Asparagus
Asparagus may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, primarily via proteins like *Asp o 1* and *Asp o 2*. Symptoms range from oral allergy syndrome (itchy mouth/throat) to systemic reactions; rare but documented. Cross-reactivity with other Liliaceae plants (e.g., onion, garlic) possible.
