Bee moth (Galleria mellonella) allergy

We present a case of bee moth (Galleria mellonella) allergy with new clinical and immunologic features. While taking part in trout fishing games during the past year, a 34-year-old amateur fisherman with no personal history of allergic diseases experienced several attacks of rhinoconjunctivitis and late asthmatic reactions. Symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis began when starting to fish and persisted during the day. This was followed by mild wheezing and dyspnea during the following night. Symptoms worsened during the most recent fishing excursion, and mild breathing difficulty tends to last until the night of the next day.
