Cinnamon
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) may trigger allergic reactions via cinnamaldehyde or eugenol compounds. Symptoms include oral allergy syndrome (OAS), contact dermatitis, or respiratory irritation. Rarely causes anaphylaxis; linked to **Mugwort-Celery-Spice Syndrome** in cross-reactive individuals (e.g., with birch/mugwort pollen allergies). Spice processing may increase allergenicity.
