We investigated the significance of air-borne sugar cane pollen as an allergen from Sept. 1985 through Mar. 1987. The pollen from sugar cane and miscarUhus sinensis are experimentally indistinguishable under the microscope. The combined pollen count was measured, and is referred to as graminae pollen in this study. The peak pollen count for graminae was observed in late Oct. , 1985 and 1986. This coincided with the peak flowering of miscanthus sinensis. The peak flowering of sugar cane was observed from Dec. to Jan. at which time there was only a very low pollen count for graminae. Even when the pollen-collecting slides were put at two points adjacent to a sugar cane field, the pollen count was still low. Also pollen did not fall from an ear of sugar cane placed in a vase over a period of one day. The reason is that the pollen-filled sugar cane anther had not broken, and is physically difficult to break. From the above, we concluded that sugar cane pollen was not responsible as an allergen.
