The doctor listed the most allergenic flowers

Allergenic flowers are fragrant, have a bright smell, and therefore pollen. Allergist, immunologist, therapist Lyudmila Lapa told about this on Friday, March 7, on the eve of International Women's Day.

"If the flowers smell strongly, then, of course, they can cause allergies. The most dangerous ones are lilies. They can't even be left in the sleeping room. Lilac and jasmine are also fragrant flowers, allergenic. And there's a lot of pollen in them," the expert explained in an interview with Radio 1.

According to the expert, the safest flowers are tulips.

"They can be given away every day. Breathe them, leave them in the room. Daisies don't smell much either, but if a person is allergic to pollen, it will be dangerous," the allergist concluded.

Tulip or gone: a bouquet by March 8 will cost 4 thousand rubles.
