We report 2 cases of aluminium sensitivity in adults Each time. the means of sensitization was the inoculation of aluminium‐precipitated pollen or dust extracts for hyposensitization. We conclude that aluminium allergy is not exceptional and that in these cases one can observe allergic reactions to the Finn Chamber® tests.
