Charles Harrison Blackley / 查尔斯·哈里森·布莱克利

Charles Harrison Blackley is the Victorian hay-fever researcher foregrounded in 97.花粉症与人类:从尼安德特人(啊啾!)到空气净化器…. The episode calls him a father figure for hay-fever research because he moved beyond speculation about summer catarrh and used his own allergic body to test pollen as the trigger.

Blackley’s experiments connect Self-Experimentation to Observation Before Inference. He collected many kinds of pollen, applied them to his nose, palate, eyes, skin, and wounds, then compared bodily reactions with airborne pollen measurements made using prepared glass slides. The source also notes that [[CharlesDarwin|Charles Darwin]] noticed and encouraged his work, making Blackley part of the wiki’s broader evidence-discipline branch.
