Allergic reactions to the pollen and plant dust of parthenium weed are causing major health problems in central Queensland, which can be expected to increase, especially as the pasture weed is rapidly spreading south. This paper reviews published information on health aspects of this weed and calls attention to its spread into areas with much greater population.
