Bad advice.  Whereas many people can ingest pollen without any  problems, 
and some even manage to improve (decrease sensitiviy), if they do have  
allergies to pollens, as with peanuts, even a little bit could be harmful to  
those few who are severely alllergic.  When asked about consuming pollen, I  
always provide a caution, suggest the tiniest bit on the tongue, then wait for 
 at least 30 minutes.  If that's ok, cautiously increase the amount.   Any 
tingling in the tongue or lips, swelling, STOP immediately.  Any  shortness 
of breath, swelling of throat, racing heart - call 911.
