“…In this study, positive patch tests were seen both in males (98%) and in females (73%). This finding is at variance with previous studies of contact dermatitis from Compositae plants (4,19,20,21), where contact allergy occurred almost exclusively in males. A change is now to be expected as more and more women, especially in this part of the world, take up gardening as a hobby or floristry as an occupation, and enter outdoor occupations such as farming and construction work.…”

60 patients (45 male and 15 female) with suspected airborne contact dermatitis from Compositae (Asteraceae) plants and 20 age-matched controls (15 male and 5 female) were investigated. Patch tests were performed with ethanolic plant extracts of 4 Compositae plants, Parthenium hysterophorus, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Dahlia pinnata and Tagetes indica, all prevalent in northern India. 55 (92%) patients showed positive patch tests, with 35 (64%) demonstrating positive tests to extracts of only 1 of the 4 plants tested. No positive patch tests were seen in the controls. Parthenium hysterophorus (78%) was the most frequent plant reacting, followed by Chrysanthemum morifolium (42%), Dahlia pinnata (18%) and Tagetes indica (7%).

“…I think the distinctions are sharp enough to separate the mechanism in these cases from the comparatively short-lived " photodermatitis " of the majority. There are some features that recall the behaviour of ragweed dermatitis, which also particularly afFects atopies (Epstein, 1960).…”

“…However, the seeds are relatively small. Finally, annual marsh elder, an important prehistoric Midwestern food (Black 1963) is not very suitable for cultivation as its pollen can produce allergic reactions, much like the closely-related ragweed (Ambrosia) species (Epstein 1960).…”

Traditional foods of indigenous people are a potential untapped source for providing nutritious dietary options in the modern world. The rising popularity of indigenous foods such as amaranth in recent years suggests that these foods can become a popular part of a healthy diet in the United States. Traditional knowledge of indigenous people can form the basis for using wild food resources. This research provides data on 50 plant species common to the central United States that are abundant sources of dietary protein and fiber, and used traditionally by Native American tribes. Many species show promise with high amounts of protein and fiber being found in lamb’s quarters, nettles, grass seeds, and buffalo gourd seeds. These results honor traditional knowledge. In addition, many of these species could be cultivated using techniques similar to those existing for commercial grains and vegetables. Seeds and/or greens of these wild plants could easily be incorporated into the diets of many more people, improving modern diets, and the nutritional quality of food products.
