Irritant Dermatitis (skin allergy/inflammation of the skin) caused by pesticide (Eczema?)


While I was washing spinach (vegetable) at about 6.30 pm on 2009-03-18 (Wed.) for my family, the joint between my right thumb and index finger felt an ant’s bite and it felt slightly itchy.

An itchy and red rash of dermatitis appeared at the joint. The culprit was probably the pesticide contained in the spinach.

Next time when I wash spinach, I should wear a glove or a transparent plastic bag.
