  • Title: Inhalant allergy due to crickets.
    Author: Bagenstose AH, Mathews KP, Homburger HA, Saaveard-Delgado AP.
    Journal: J Allergy Clin Immunol; 1980 Jan; 65(1):71-4. PubMed ID: 6153085.
    Abstract:
    Two employees developed allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma which was occupationally related to raising crickets. Skin tests, bronchial challenge, radioallergosorbent test (RAST), in vitro histamine release and a passive transfer test supported the presence of type I hypersensitivity to cricket allergens. Skin tests of other employees and patients of an allergy clinic suggested that cricket emanations are potent allergens.
