That's interesting as they are closely related.

I also stumbled across this tidbit: "Oral allergy syndrome is an
allergic reaction some people will experience due to the birch
pollen left on the apples. Because the pollen is the main irritant,
only the raw apples, especially their skin, cause the allergic
reaction. Cooked apples do not cause these symptoms as the heat
denatures the proteins in the pollen, rendering them harmless to
those sensitive." The source was just Wikipedia, so the statement
needs further research before being taken as gospel.
