| Abstract |
Case study of a non atopic 25-year-old Sardinian shepherd with recurrent hand dermatitis. Three months after having started sheep breeding, he developed an itchy, fissured hand dermatitis which lasted for the whole lambing and milking season. The eczema was exacerbated by the activity of milking the ewes and partially cleared in summer. Patch testing was negative. After applying wet ewe wool on the palm for 20 minutes, whealing was visible at the site of application. |
