“…Other body sites with which the nails frequently come in contact can be affected, such as the face, back, and eyes [ 11 ]. Acetone may also cause an allergic airborne contact dermatitis (ABCD), presenting a generalized skin reaction [ 12 ]. Although a substantial amount of spray-on fabric diluent evaporates before it reaches the surface, factors such as distance from spray point, diameter of spray nozzle, amount of diluent, and spray time can influence the degree of exposure a consumer has to the diluent [ 2 ].…”

Non-woven fabrics such as spray-on clothing contain multiple ingredients which can serve as contact allergens and pulmonary irritants.Factors such as distance from spray point, diameter of spray nozzle, concentration of diluent, and spray time can influence the total exposure and sequelae resulting from the material.Raising awareness among medical providers regarding possible formulations, including ingredients potentially damaging to the skin and airways, and protocols for testing (Table 1) and prevention of relevant exposures can protect patients. COMMENTARYThe recent trend of spray-on clothing has generated excitement in the fashion industry with the potential of innovations like this to bridge the gap between expensive, hand-sewn pieces and fast fashion. Beyond the fashion world,

Parthenin, a sesquiterpene lactone of pseudoguaianolide type, is the representative secondary metabolite of the tropical weed Parthenium hysterophorus (Asteraceae). It accounts for a multitude of biological activities, including toxicity, allergenicity, allelopathy, and pharmacological aspects of the plant. Thus far, parthenin and its derivatives have been tested for chemotherapeutic abilities, medicinal properties, and herbicidal/pesticidal activities. However, due to the lack of toxicity–bioactivity relationship studies, the versatile properties of parthenin are relatively less utilised. The possibility of exploiting parthenin in different scientific fields (e.g., chemistry, medicine, and agriculture) makes it a subject of analytical discussion. The present review highlights the multifaceted uses of parthenin, on-going research, constraints in the practical applicability, and the possible workarounds for its successful utilisation. The main aim of this comprehensive discussion is to bring parthenin to the attention of researchers, pharmacologists, natural product chemists, and chemical biologists and to open the door for its multidimensional applications.

“…Airborne contact dermatitis is an acute or chronic dermatoses predominantly affecting exposed parts of the body and caused by allergens/irritants present in the atmosphere. 1 The agents commonly responsible for this type of dermatitis are either the plants whose components such as pollen, trichromes or dry leaf fragments can get airborne, or the industrial agents which pollute the air from the factories. 2 Allergens can be present in the form of dust, sprays, pollen, volatile chemicals by airborne fumes or droplets, which settle on the exposed skin of the body.…”

Airborne contact dermatitis is an acute or chronic dermatoses predominantly affecting exposed parts of the body and caused by allergens/irritants present in the atmosphere. The agents commonly responsible for this type of dermatitis are either the plants or the industrial agents. This study was carried out on patients with a clinical picture and history consistent with air born contact dermatitis (ABCD) due to exposure to Parthenium hysterophorus (parthenium weed), chrysanthemum, xanthium who were patch tested. This prospective study was conducted in Department of Rural-Cum-Industrial Skin & Health Institute, Dasna, Ghaziabad District, New Delhi. A total of 100 patients suspected to be suffering from ABCD included. A detailed clinical history, cutaneous and systemic examination was done. All patients were patch tested for allergens (parthenium hysterophorus, chrysanthemum, xanthium). Patch test was carried out for Parthenium, Chrysanthemum and Xanthium. All 100 suspected patients were patch tested with dried leaves and flowers of plants, and with standard battery of antigen consisting mainly of antigens for Parthenium, chrysanthemum and xanthium. Patients were instructed to avoid wetting the site, exercise, rubbing and scratching for 96 hours. In the present study, out of 100 patients 94 patients showed positive reaction to either parthenium, chrysanthemum or xanthium plant antigens. While 6 did not show positive reaction to any plant antigens. In this study, majority of the patients were belongs to geriatric age group and from urban areas. In our study, 82 patients tested positive for Parthenium, 9 patients tested positive for Chrysanthenum, 3 for Xanthium and 6 for other chemicals. In addition to this, 10 patients were atopics and others skin condition was normal. 14 (14%) patients had previous history of drug intake in the form of Hospitalization (Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs), chronic illness, following accidents. 15% showed good hygiene and 85% showed poor Hygiene.The present study, 82 patients tested positive for Parthenium, 9 patients tested positive for Chrysanthenum, 3 for Xanthium and 6 for other chemicals. Parthenium dermatitis may changes to mixed pattern or chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD). Parthenium dermatitis may be common once.
