| Abstract |
A case report is presented of a cowboy suffering from eczema and chemical burns on his arm and shoulder following misuse of a fly spray containing the pesticide permethrin. The patient used an underdiluted formulation and wore a long sleeve shirt which became soaked during the spraying. The case highlights the need to ascertain the history of a patient presenting with a rash and to ask about chemical exposure. |
