  • Title: A study of western red cedar-induced asthma.
    Author: Mue S, Ise T, Ono Y, Akasaka K.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1975 May; 34(5):296-304. PubMed ID: 1124866.
    Abstract:
    Seventeen asthmatic patients who were workers dealing with Western Red Cedar in a Japanese wooden frame factory were studied. One fraction from the aqueous extract of the lumber induced a positive skin test, Prausnitz-Kustner test and the inhalation test. This confirms the existence of antigen in Western Red Cedar and its ability to produce allergic asthma in sensitive workers.
