Allergies 
Although it is unusual, allergies to Swiss chard have been reported.6 In addition, if you have hay fever caused by mugwort pollen, you may experience oral allergy syndrome (OAS) when consuming chard. Symptoms include itchiness or swelling around the mouth. These usually subside when you stop eating chard. But, rarely, OAS can progress to anaphylaxis. Know the symptoms of anaphylaxis and seek immediate treatment if you experience them.7
