I think we are blowing the issue a bit out of proportion.

People are allergic to all kinds of food and products. I don't see a warning 
on milk or foods which have been shown to cause reactions in plenty of 
people.

Why pick on pollen?

Story time:
years ago I was trucking north and spotted an old pickup with a beekeeper in 
bib overalls sitting in a chair in the bed.
He had light honey he called his spring  squeezins and dark  honey he called 
his fall squeezins.
he had jars of pollen. I was about to ask about his bees when some pilgrims 
from Kansas pulled up . The beekeeper told of the health benefits of pollen 
and ended with a warning:
he said" free advice"
"If you ever have an erection lasting over four hours consult a doctor"
The couple bought a bottle of pollen and left.
I questioned the beekeeper as to his advice and he said.
" I said was free advice not that pollen would cause the effect."
I bought a jar of honey and headed north with a grin on my face.
