Proposed Merge[edit]

Unless there's some meaning of synonym in biology that I'm not aware of, we don't need 2 articles about the same species. ChrisHodgesUK (talk) 14:15, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't synonyms; Penicillium candidum Roger (1923) (illegitimate name, invalid species; this is a synonym of Penicillium camemberti Thom) ≠ Penicillium candidum Link (1809) (legitimate name, valid species). Sasata (talk) 15:14, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - I assumed the article was correct when I proposed merging. Thanks Sasata for sorting it out. ChrisHodgesUK (talk) 10:25, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Possible contraindication for people with penicillin allergy[edit]

The article states "An allergy to the antibiotic penicillin does not necessarily imply an allergy to cheeses made using P. camemberti.[2]"

UPDATE 11 February 2013: Several days ago, I received this message from a reader, which is important information to share: “I have just read your report on the above having just left the A & E department because my wife, who is allergic to penicillin medication, had an allergic reaction after eating Brie and Stilton after a meal last night. The reaction was identical to that she had suffered after a course of penicillin antibiotics. Having read other articles, many people are advising there is no link between the two, and that you can eat any cheese whenever you like. That certainly was not the case with my wife. Yours sincerely, Martin D.” Martin wrote back to me one week later to advise: “My wife had her steroid dosage increased on Monday, and she finally lost the hives all over her body by Friday, yesterday.”

My question: should the article be amended to reflect the fact that there is anecdotal evidence that some people with penicillin sensitivity have had reactions from eating these cheeses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rivergod (talk • contribs) 08:27, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
