Yes, Christmas trees can cause allergies in some people. The pollen and sap that are released by the tree can irritate the airways and cause symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Additionally, some people may be allergic to the resin from the tree or the chemicals used in the decorations. To reduce the risk of an allergic reaction, it is important to choose a tree that is not shedding too much pollen or sap and to keep the tree away from areas where it can accumulate dust.
