Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria) is known for producing highly allergenic pollen. This pollen can trigger a condition called "cedar fever," which causes strong allergic reactions. The pollen is typically released from winter to early spring and can be especially intense in areas where these trees are common, affecting many people.
If you experience intense allergy symptoms from winter to early spring, especially if you live in an area with Japanese cedar trees, it may be beneficial to get tested for this specific allergy.
Japanese Cedar pollen is highly allergenic and can provoke a strong immune response, leading to inflammation and a range of allergy symptoms.
Managing Japanese cedar allergy involves limiting outdoor exposure during the tree’s pollination period, using air purifiers indoors, and following a healthcare provider’s advice regarding medication.
