Overview
Pigweed allergies, also known as Lamb’s Quarters, is a weed that produces heavy pollen and can induce hayfever, asthma, and conjunctivitis symptoms. While some species are insect-pollinated, and others are wind-pollinated.
An allergy to Common Pigweed (Kaantewali Chauli / Amaranthus retroflexus) triggers a reaction in an individual's immune system. The body views certain substances as toxic and produces IgE antibodies to these contaminants. These antibodies cause histamine to be released, which will cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
