This is interesting.

QuoteEmphasize differences in risk from ingestion exposure (higher risk) vs skin contact (low risk unless transfer to mouth) vs inhalation (depends on food and density of exposure) with regard to potential symptom severity and treatment, taking into consideration age, specific allergies, and circumstances of exposure

Full acknowledgment making this an extremely useful paper. I may even read through this with FIL.
