Chili peppers
Chili peppers (*Capsicum* spp.) contain capsaicin and LTPs (e.g., Cap a 1) that may trigger oral allergy syndrome (OAS) or IgE-mediated reactions, especially in latex-fruit syndrome or mugwort-spice syndrome. Symptoms include oral itching, swelling, or anaphylaxis (rare). Cross-reactivity with bell peppers, tomatoes, or paprika is documented.
