 ok, heres an off the wall thought........i wonder could you give a severly allergic person an attack of anaphylaxis using pollens? or does cooking somehow neutralize them? enquiring allergic minds want to know! Last edited by redace1960; 07-21-2005 at 09:23 AM.  |

| We could always do a test subject. Anyone want to be a guine pig?  No seriously, that's a really good question and I suppose when you write your menu you have to make it clear that you are using pollen. I would think that it still reacts to the person, depending on what it is in the pollen that they are actually allegic to. Molecules are made of different elements, right. Its the compund molecules that they are allergic to. If cooking them breaks them down so that they are no longer those same compound molecules than you are safe but I would say, because of the flavor it gives off, which is quite strong, those same compound molecules are still intact but with just a couple new molecules attached to them. Really good question Red. |
