Abstract |
Lawn care chemicals are frequently blamed when skin rashes occur in lawn care workers, although proof of a cause-and-effect relationship is often lacking. A lawn care worker developed severe dermatitis of the hands, arms, face, and neck shortly after his company started using a new fungicide. Patch-testing proved that the dermatitis was caused by a contact allergy to Dyrene, the active fungicidal chemical.
