>
> By J. Raloff
>
> Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a moth-killing bacterium that farmers
> use as an insecticide, has been considered nontoxic to all but a
> few types of insect larvae. It may pose some health risk for
> people, however. A new study of Ohio crop pickers and handlers
> finds that Bt can provoke immunological changes indicative of a
> developing allergy.
>
> With long-term exposure, affected individuals might develop asthma
> or other serious allergic reactions, notes study leader I. Leonard
> Bernstein of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
