Airborne exposure-induced occupational type I allergy to Tenebrio molitor: Case report and studies on immunological reactivity

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: antigen levels in the workplace were monitored using electrostatic dust collectors to identify hotspots of exposure. The disposal of dry insect material was shown to be responsible for the unintentional release of potential allergens. Therefore, awareness of the potential risk of a type I allergy due to the release of airborne insect allergens in the workplace should be raised.
