Allergic evaluation of cereal smuts.
Weekly atmospheric sampling in the Pocatello, Idaho, area and skin testing with a standard inland smut mixture of the smuts of common cereal grains and grasses have shown that smut is a prominent antigen and, used rationally in a mixture of related antigens, is useful in all seasons in the treatment of allergies. The history, agricultural aspects and medical significance of smuts are discussed.
