GENERAL INFORMATION

Name:
Bell pepper
Scientific Name:
Capsicum annuum
Occurrence:
Bell pepper can be eaten raw or can be added as a seasoning to cooked foods.

Allergy Information:
Allergy to bell pepper is commonly reported with respiratory symptoms rather than reactions of the mouth or skin (most commonly rhinoconjunctivitis but also asthma) which is slightly unusual. Headaches were also reported which are sometimes associated with allergic rhinitis but are otherwise rarely reported as a symptom of food allergy. Allergy to bell pepper is often associated with the celery-birch-mugwort-spice syndrome.
