of the most common ailments caused is dermatitis (occupational dermatitis when
due to work). This comes in two main forms; irritant and allergic. The reactions
can vary but they normally come in the form of redness, rashes, hives, blisters
and itching.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis arises when your skin
touches a substance that damages it. The reactions vary dependent on the person
