carya tomentosa pollen

Carya tomentosa pollen is an allergenic extract derived from the mockernut hickory (also known as white hickory). It is utilized both as a diagnostic tool for skin testing and as a therapeutic agent in allergen immunotherapy (AIT) for patients suffering from allergic rhinitis or other hypersensitivity reactions triggered by hickory tree pollen. The extract works by exposing the patient's immune system to controlled amounts of the allergen, eventually inducing desensitization and reducing clinical symptoms. It is typically administered via subcutaneous injection and may be formulated as a single-species extract or as part of a broader hickory or tree pollen mixture.
