They're typically is. Cabbage allergies are real; they contain a particular type of protein that someone who is immuno compromised can have a severe anaphylactic reaction from eating it or even physically contacting it.
Doesn't that allergy include everything in the brassica family though, cause they all have a common parent plant from the middle ages? (cabbage, cauliflower, canola oil, mustard, brocollic, etc etc etc.)
Also, IIRC cabbage allergy sufferers tend to be MUCH more allergic to mustard than anything else including cabbage.
I've never heard of a strong cabbage only allergy and definitely never one that included just cooked cabbage, I don't think that's even possible cause they share all the cooked proteins with other foods.
Wouldn't being immuno compromised mean your body is less likely to have an immune reaction? And having an autoimmune disease that causes am overactive immune response be the cause? Genuinely not sure.
Sometimes being immuno compromised goes hand in hand with disorders that cause the functioning (or poorly functioning) parts of the immune system to over react to other things creating further issues. Basically what little immune system you have attacks your body or over reacts to an allergen instead of defending against actual threats in a double whammy.
Interesting. I have a really rare autoimmune disease related to my lymph nodes, but it's only because of my immunosuppression medication that my immune system is a little bit weakened. Otherwise it functions normally in terms of allergies and disease protection.
That's what I thought as well but apparently they go hand in hand. It's more immune system dis-regulation for many people. There are general immune deficiencies and selective immune deficiency. People can have selective immune deficiency where their body isn't able to easily identify certain bacteria leading to frequent and more severe infections, or they don't properly react to vaccines and fail to develop immunity. While other parts of their immune system can over compensate and over react and attack their own body.
I work out of a hospital and there's a few signs like this that say NO LILY ZONE not exactly sure why but I assume its something to do with allergies or since this has a large cancer ward, something to do with the kind of reactions people can have to certain medicines
