Welcome back to the Oh My Allergies! Podcast. Fall is officially upon us! One of the first foods you think about when you think of fall is pumpkins. When October hits, pumpkins are EVERYWHERE. Pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice cookies, etc., but what if we told you that pumpkin isn’t always nice? Today’s episode is all about pumpkins, the teal pumpkin project, and whether or not you can actually be allergic to the fall favorite, pumpkins. Pumpkin spice may or may not always be nice....or is it?

We discuss:
