“…However, in most cases of occupational allergy caused by ornamental flowers, unstandardized extracts for skin prick or prick-by-prick tests have been used to demonstrate specific sensitization. [2][3][4][5] The use of native plant tests has been recommended for screening for flower allergy. 2 Only two case reports of cyclamen occupational allergy have been described: one case of a floriculturist family in Holland whose mother and daughter developed asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis allergy, respectively, to cyclamen pollen, and another of a floriculturist in Italy.…”

Atopic patients are more vulnerable to sensitization, although some cases of allergy to ornamental plants in non-atopic patients have been reported [8].…”
