Genetics researchers become sensitised to fruit flies in their laboratory

 Genetics researchers become sensitised to fruit flies in their laboratory
This study shows a clear dose-response for frequency/intensity of exposure for specific IgE to fruit flies (5% low and frequent, 15% high and frequent) and work-related symptoms (chest symptoms 10% vs. 17%). There are a much larger number with work-related symptoms and no specific IgE (>30%) . The cause for their symptoms, and their exposure to other possible causes were not determined. The response rate to this cross-sectional study was 21%.
