Tejallergia
Tejallergia refers to an allergic reaction triggered by exposure to certain types of pollen, primarily from the *Tejas* plant genus, though the term is sometimes used more broadly to describe pollen allergies in general.

Symptoms of tejallergia are similar to those of other pollen allergies and may include sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, nasal congestion, and skin rashes.
