Rosaceae herbs
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) belongs to the Lamiaceae family but may cross-react with Rosaceae herbs in individuals with **Birch Pollen-Related Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS)**. Reactions (itchy mouth, throat swelling) are typically mild and rare; triggered by homologous proteins like **Bet v 1**. Rarely, severe reactions occur in highly sensitive individuals.
