Abstract
We describe the first reported case of repeated anaphylaxis after ingestion of Moringa oleifera, causing significant hypotension, angioedema and elevation of serum tryptase. Moringa oleifera seedpod was confirmed as the causative allergen by skin testing with the fresh pod. Moringa oleifera is widely consumed, both as a vegetable and in herbal medicines.
