Why do indoor plants cause allergies?

In principle, any houseplant, even the most useful and far from poisonous, can cause an allergic reaction of an individual organism to it. For example, neither you nor other adults feel discomfort from the presence of a new flower in the house, but from the moment of its appearance, the child's eyes are constantly itching, mucus runs from the nose. This means that the plant is the strongest allergen for him. The same can be said when a pet reacts to a plant in an unexpected way.

You need to understand that indoor plants are living organisms that live, act, produce their essential oils, flower sap, pollen, and other enzymes released into the air. A plant may at one period of its development not cause allergies among those living in the house, but cause it, for example, during the growing season, flowering.

Often, fluffy, hairy plants cause allergies. Even ordinary dust accumulating on the leaves of flowering plants can provoke it. Therefore, when keeping a plant in the house, each of them should be closely examined for its toxicity or healing properties, the possibility of causing an allergic reaction, and so on. And in case of unpleasant symptoms in people and animals living with you, it is better to part with one of the representatives of the flora than to cause constant discomfort in a representative of the animal world or people living in an apartment.
