| Abstract |
The case is reported of a truck driver who developed persistent dermatitis of the neck after accidental skin contamination with dichlorvos, which he was carrying in his truck. He also experienced frontal headache, mild rhinorrhoea, burning of the tongue, and a bitter taste in the mouth. Negative patch tests suggested that the dermatitis was due to a primary irritant effect of dichlorvos on the skin. The dermatitis persisted for 2 months after exposure. |
