If they had an allergy and were working with nuts would they not react if
they inhaled 'nut dust'? In the same way that Latex IEg is carried and
inhaled in corn starch powder?

Subject: occupational nut allergy?
Dear list - a paediatric allergist just asked me if people occupationally
exposed to peanuts or other nuts get inhalant allergy from this exposure. I
have not seen a case. Has anyone else? Best wishes - Kate
