Well, the allergies are normally to chemicals in the wood, and the usual suspects are those you can smell in the plank. Woods durable in ground contact are, because they contain fungicides, just as woods from insect-rich tropical areas contain powerful insecticides.

Least factor is the mechanical irritant provided by the particle itself.

Some government stuff.
