“…Plants (Table 2) are known to cause immediate skin and mucosal symptoms among gardeners, greenhouse workers, florists, plant caretakers, and researchers (23,25,38,39,40,42). Numerous families of plants have been implicated (Asteracea, Apiaceae, Agavaceae, Moraceae, and others), making the prevalence of ICU fairly high in this occupational group.…”

Protein contact with the skin can be associated with 2 major clinical conditions: contact urticaria and protein contact dermatitis. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical pictures and the literature on the proteins having caused immunological occupation-related skin problems, i.e. fruits, vegetables, spices, plants, and woods; animal proteins; grains and enzymes, all affecting a wide variety of jobs. This is illustrated with some cases observed in the contact-allergy unit in Leuven.

“…The pollens stick to the antennae of the insects. Few pollens are liberated into the atmosphere and there must be a direct contact of the subject with the pollen source to sensitize exposed subjects, as is the case with agriculturists (354) or florists (355). However, atopic patients may occasionally develop sensitization to these entomophilous pollens (356,357).…”

“…Our patient was also shown to be atopic and was prick-test-positive to birch and grass pollen, though experienced atopic symptoms only after having been sensitized to gerbera. Positive prick test reactions to florist's chrysanthemum and non-Asteraceae plants were also found, possibly based on her atopic constitution and occasional exposure, though cross-reactions between plants of different families (7,14) may also explain such reactions.…”
