  • Title: Cutaneous allergy to mustard in a salad maker.
    Author: Dannaker CJ, White IR.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 1987 Apr; 16(4):212-4. PubMed ID: 2954759.
    Abstract:
    A case of allergic contact dermatitis to mustard (Brassica nigra) in a salad maker is reported. The sources of skin contact included a commercial salad cream, a vinegrette, and various members of the mustard family, Cruciferae. The Cruciferae family includes many salad vegetables and condiments which contain allergenic isothiocyanates. The extent of skin contact among salad makers and other food handlers may be significant, and sensitization to isothiocyanates from this large family of vegetables may be an important cause of food contact allergy in these individuals.
