Basil Allergy Reasons. Many Italian, Greek and Indian foods contain basil. Basil allergies are rare, but the symptoms of this malady can be just as distressing as those of common food sensitivities. Reactions can cause hives, welts on the face and mouth, runny nose, itchy eyes, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting shortly after consumption.
Using Basil Leaves. Basil can be used in a variety of ways. The fresh leaves can be made into a poultice, or the seeds can be ground and added to meals. Basil also has antiseptic properties, and when the leaves are rubbed onto bug bites they can help reduce itching. Another outstanding use of basil is as an insect repellent. The herb is often made into tinctures, and because basil is an expectorant, it can help fight bronchitis and coughs.
