Have found this thread quite interesting, especially since my wife and I intend
moving to Oregon/Washington soon to begin our second careers, and she has a food
allergy to hazelnuts. Can anyone advise me as to the chances she will also be
allergic to the inhaled pollen, since I may end up working with bees in the
filbert center of the U.S. ???
