The Cocklebur plant species can be found in a range of waste sites and undisturbed settings, particularly damp ones.
They grow to reach over four feet tall. It has huge triangle leaves that may grow up to six inches in length. Male flowers of the Cocklebur are found in bunches towards the plant's top, while female flowers are located at the base of leaves over most of the plant's length.
Wind pollination in Cocklebur occurs from July through September. The fruit is in the shape of a bur with hooked spines that allow it to spread by attaching itself to fur and other fabrics in the same way that Velcro does. During this pollination season, the highest numbers of Cocklebur allergy cases are observed. Cocklebur allergy is especially prevalent among those who work in the fields and remote areas since the plant is only found in these parts.
Some of the symptoms observed in an individual who has had an allergic reaction to Cocklebur include:
- Itchy, congested or runny nose
- Post-nasal drip
- Sneezing
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Swelling in the face, mouth and throat
- Anaphylaxis (in extreme situations)
The Cocklebur allergy test is the most widely used blood test for detecting a Cocklebur allergy in individuals. Since it is part of the allergenic ragweed family, a Cocklebur allergy can very well imply a ragweed allergy and vice-versa.
However, like most allergies, an allergic reaction to Cocklebur is manageable. Doctors first evaluate the severity with the Cocklebur allergy test and then prescribe pills and treatment plans, including over-the-counter emergency medication.
Some of the treatments for Cocklebur allergy include:
- Depending on the severity of the Cocklebur allergy, medicines can help lower the immune system's response and alleviate symptoms. Doctors may advise patients to use over-the-counter or prescription medication in tablet or liquid form, nasal sprays, or eye drops.
- Your doctor may prescribe allergen immunotherapy if previous treatments do not entirely alleviate your allergic reaction to Cocklebur. This treatment consists of a range of injections of refined allergen extracts administered over a few years.
- Another type of immunotherapy is a pill that is put underneath the tongue until it dissolves. Some pollen allergies, including the Cocklebur allergy, can be treated using this.
- If a person has a severe allergic reaction to Cocklebur, they may need to carry an adrenaline injection at all times. An epinephrine injection, administered for extreme allergic responses, can alleviate symptoms until the patient can be offered proper emergency treatment.
Nevertheless, the first step is to get a cocklebur allergy test. It is available on the Apollo 24|7 website and app. Anyone who wishes to get tested can log onto the website and opt for it from anywhere across the country.
