Article Synopsis
- Garlic is a common spice that can cause rare IgE-mediated allergies, with alliin lyase being the main allergen and showing heat sensitivity, allowing some people to eat cooked garlic without issues.
- The study involved two patients: one reacted to both raw and cooked garlic, while the other reacted only to raw garlic.
- The research confirmed that heat degrades most garlic proteins, with cooked garlic being safer for some allergic individuals, but noted exceptions in patient reactions, highlighting the need for more research.
