Flower-bulb growers experience more minor skin irritation due to irritant sap and other exposures. While allergic contact dermatitis to pesticides and bulbs is less common, it remains a significant concern for these workers.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Health
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Damaged skin in flower-bulb growers increases pesticide absorption.
  • Occupational skin conditions pose health risks in this industry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate skin conditions in flower-bulb growers.
  • To identify causes of contact dermatitis and sensitization in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative study of 103 bulb growers and 49 controls.
  • Clinical examination for dermatitis signs.
  • Patch testing for contact sensitization to pesticides and flower-bulb extracts.

Main Results:

  • Minor dermatitis signs were more prevalent in bulb growers (30% vs 8%).

  • Contact sensitization to pesticides (approx. 10%) and bulbs (4%) was identified.
  • Narcissus sap, hyacinth dust, and pesticides were common irritant exposures.

    • Conclusions:

    • Minor irritant contact dermatitis is frequent among flower-bulb growers.
    • Contact sensitization to pesticides and bulbs is a less common but important cause of dermatitis in this occupation.
