Some of the most important allergens of bronchial asthma are found in the bedding, especially the pillows. We reported on a buckwheat asthma induced by buckwheat flour attached to buckwheat chaff in pillows, in 1958. In this paper, we present 9 cases of buckwheat asthma including the previous one. The observations of 9 cases of buckwheat asthma are summarized as follows: A. History. The attack occurred at niight as soon as the patient got into bed, suggesting that the causative factor might have some connection with the bedding. All the patients had used pillows stuffed with buckwheat chaff for 1 to 2 years prior to the onset of asthma. B. Skin test. Strongly positive with buckwheat. C. Avoidance. The asthmatic attacks stopped after avoidance of buckwheat flour. D. Provocative test. Asthma was induced by inhalation of buckwheat flour. E. Cause of recurrence. In the majority of cases, the cause of recurrence was the inhalation or eating of buckwheat flour by mistake. In Japan, buckwheat chaff is generally employed for pillow stuffiing. Since buckwheat chaff necessarilly contains some flour, it is highly possible that by using pillows of buckwheat chaff, one may inhale the attached flour and become sensitized.
