Carbonic Acid and Allergies: What You Need to Know

No, carbonic acid itself is not known to cause allergies. Carbonic acid is a weak acid that is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water and although high concentrations may cause irritation to the respiratory system, it does not trigger allergic responses. Allergies are typically caused by proteins or glycoproteins that bind to specific antibodies in the immune system, and carbonic acid is not a protein.
