Skin prick tests and specific IgE tests with extracts of these components revealed that 11.3% were sensitized to <jats:italic>Cassia<\/jats:italic> spp. and 9.7% to at least one species of storage mites, with a significantly higher portion of atopic subjects in the sensitized group. Overall, 55% of the subjects reported work\u2010related symptoms (upper and lower airways, eyes, or skin). FVC % pred. was significantly lower in highly exposed workers, while RV % pred. and RV%TLC % pred. were significantly higher in this group. In the multivariate model, sensitization was not a risk factor for impairment of lung function.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>: Dust exposure to flours may not only cause
