We have already been reported on Konjac Bronchial Asthma causing by the inhalation of "Maiko", a dust from Amorphophalus Konjac, during the production of a foodstuff "Konnyaku". The patients have only been found so far in the workers of the mill or in the residents surrounding it. The paper presented two cases of Konjac Asthma, which was found other than the above-mentioned area, one was a fire works maker, other was a dying worker. Those patients used to handle the "Maiko" during their labors. "Maiko" is the very potent allergen, and it is widely used as a feed of domestic animals, or as a contaminant of japanese foodstuff "Konnyaku", or as some other industrial purposes like above-mentioned works. These findings suggest that the kind of asthma should be investigated in more extensive fields at least in Japan.
