Anyone know any sources for statistics on sunflower and other seed allergy numbers? How much less common than PA or TNA are they?

Thanks for any info you might have. Smiley

I haven't seen any official U.S. seed prevalence studies.

There was a paper written about 10 years ago by Dr. Taylor & Dr. Susan Hefle identifying allergens (many non-big8), but they did not attempt to determine the prevalence of the allergens.

As far as I can tell, this is a neglected area of research.

The only thing I can find is that Canada lists sesame within the top nine.

(I don't think this is exactly what you want -- but so far it's all I can find.)
