Abstract
Three cases of idiosyncrasy to metallic mercury are described. All occurred in children and all showed symptoms referable to the skin. In two instances metallic mercury applied to the skin was the active agent. In two, amalgam fillings were the etiologic factor. In one of these, symptoms of severe urticaria continued until the removal of the fillings. This cause of urticaria may be more common than is ordinarily supposed.
