Allergy to one of the most common Canadian storage mites. Lepidoglyphus destructor, was demonstrated in a grain worker by immediate skin testing and inhalation challenge. The frequency of sensitization to this mite was found to be 12% in 100 asthmatics by skin testing. In 4% of these asthmatics sensitization to another storage mite, Acarus siro, was found, all of whom were also sensitized to L. destructor and the house dust mite, Dermatophagoides farinae. There was a significantly higher proportion of asthmatics sensitive to the storage mites and to fungi who had a history of exposure to grain compared to those who did not.
一名谷物工人通过即时皮肤试验和吸入激发试验，被证实对加拿大最常见的一种仓储螨——嗜卷书虱过敏。通过皮肤试验发现，在100名哮喘患者中，对这种螨虫致敏的频率为12%。在这些哮喘患者中，有4%被发现对另一种仓储螨——粉螨过敏，他们均对嗜卷书虱和屋尘螨——粉尘螨致敏。与没有接触谷物史的哮喘患者相比，有谷物接触史且对仓储螨和真菌敏感的哮喘患者比例明显更高。
