Abstract
Airborne allergic contact dermatitis (AACD) can be caused by airborne chemicals settling on exposed body parts. Repeated exposure to an allergen can induce AACD in the areas of exposed skin (typically, the face, hands, and forearms). AACD on the face may even be caused by indirect hand contact.1 Many substances found in a variety of environments can cause AACD by the mechanism stated above, such as epoxy resin systems used in industrial work,2 paints containing isothiazolinones,3 and plants of the genus Eucalyptus.
