title: Pollen and inhalant allergy.
abstract: Anyone who suffers from hayfever will know what a serious problem allergies can be. In the long term, genetic technology may provide solutions in diagnosis, treatment and even avoidance. Eliminating allergens from pollen released by plants is technically feasible, but might this interfere with the natural processes of pollination?
