An itchy rash from hops has been reported, particularly in hops harvesters. Allergy to the pollen has also been reported. Breathing difficulties have been observed rarely among hops packagers. Hops allergy has been reported in a patient with previous severe allergic reactions from peanut, chestnut and banana. Therefore, people allergic to any of these agents should avoid hops.
Side Effects
Based on traditional use and available studies, there have been no serious side effects reported from hops. Drowsiness or sedation may occur. Use caution if you are driving or operating heavy machinery. In animal studies, hops have increased stomach acid. There is no available research in humans in this area. Breathing difficulties have been reported in brewery workers exposed to dust from hops, barley and brewery yeast."
