In this case report, allergic rhinitis and episodes of asthma triggered by the hemoglobin of the red mosquito larva used as fish food are described. After three years of contact and an allergic condition persisting for three months, skin testing and IgE determination revealed moderate sensitization of the immediate reaction type. When contact with the allergen was stopped, the symptoms abated immediately.
