| Comments |
Tuliposide A (Alstromeria) and Sesquiterpene lactones (Chrysanthemum) are the most frequently detected allergens in florists. "Florists allergic to Astroemeria also need to avoid tulips since tuliposide A is also found in the stem, leaf, petal, and bulbs of tulips." [Marks, p. 320-22] The Peruvian lily (Alstroemeria) and chrysanthemum can cause immunologic contact urticaria in florists and gardeners. [Asthma in the Workplace, p. 810] |
