On a high pollen day there is up to 1,000 grains of pollen per m^3 of air.
Typical male will inhale and exhale 10.8m^3 per day.
That’s 10,000 grains of pollen inhaled, it doesn’t go through you digestive system but lands in the mucus in your nose, throat and lungs.
That’s a lot of genetically engineered material entering via an untested vector.
Also, if you dry your bedding outside it likely collects enormous quantities of pollen as it hangs damp in the wind. Vastly more pollen grains than you inhale. Obviously people with hay fever dry their bedding in machine driers for this reason. But most people do not.
Anyway it’s probably harmless, just seems like a potentially important health vector was missed by regulators in the Americas (lobbyists are much more powerful there than Europe or Asia).
