This will give the organic food movement a nice, solid kick. Researchers think they have found the first-ever allergic reaction to antibiotic pesticides. Published in theAnnals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, scientists profiled a 10-year old girl who had a severe reaction after eating blueberry pie.
In this case, the girl already suffered from asthma, seasonal allergies, an allergy to milk and penicillin. After finding none of that in the blueberry pie, scientists went to work on finding the culprit.
Researchers traced the likely cause to blueberries that had been treated with streptomycin. The antibiotic is used in both people and plants to ward off bacteria. In the case of plants, it is mixed with pesticides to spray on a crop.
