Editing Celery (section)

== Allergic reactions ==
Celery is among a small group of foods that may provoke allergic reactions; for people with celery allergy, exposure can cause potentially fatal [[anaphylactic shock]].<ref name="pmid8337856">{{cite journal |last1=Celestin |first1=J |last2=Heiner |first2=DC |year=1993 |title=Food-induced anaphylaxis |journal=The Western Journal of Medicine |volume=158 |issue=6 |pages=610–1 |pmc=1311786 |pmid=8337856}}</ref> Cases of allergic reaction to ingestion of celery root have also been reported in pollen-sensitive individuals resulting in [[gastrointestinal disorder]]s and other symptoms, although in most cases, celery sensitivity is not considered clinically significant.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Roersch |first=C. |date=October 2016 |title=Medicinal plants in the Dominican Republic and their possible role in public health care |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.17660/actahortic.2016.1125.31 |journal=Acta Horticulturae |issue=1125 |pages=249–254 |doi=10.17660/actahortic.2016.1125.31 |issn=0567-7572}}</ref> In the [[European Union]] and the United Kingdom, foods that contain or may contain celery, even in trace amounts, must be clearly marked.<ref>{{cite web |title=Food labelling and packaging in international trade |url=http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1080034063&type=RESOURCES |work=General labelling standards for the UK and EU}}</ref>

The ''Apium graveolens'' plant has an [[Ogren Plant Allergy Scale|OPALS allergy scale]] rating of 4 out of 10, indicating moderate potential to cause allergic reactions, exacerbated by over-use of the same plant throughout a garden.<ref name="Ogren">{{cite book |last=Ogren |first=Thomas Leo |title=The Allergy-Fighting Garden |date=2015 |publisher=Ten Speed Press |isbn=9781607744917 |location=Berkeley}}</ref> Celery has caused skin rashes and cross-reactions with [[carrot]]s and [[ragweed]].<ref name="Ogren"/>
