| Abstract |
A female farmer who raised pigs developed facial dermatitis several days after beginning to wear an air-fed helmet. The helmet was intended to protect her against allergens in pig fodder. Patch testing revealed an allergy to epoxy compounds. Several seams in the helmet were found to be sealed with an epoxy resin that contained low-molecular-weight epoxy compounds. The dermatitis improved on cessation of exposure. |
