Eczema
« on: August 07, 2014, 08:14:34 AM »
I'm working in pesticide shop. Mostly I'm touching pesticide packaging when I'm handling them, but i have eczema all over my hands. My question is, does anyone knows how much I'm danger of toxicity because of my eczema.
Thanks in advance.

I imagine people have studied this, but short of searching the literature, you'd probably have to ask a dermitologist. Why don't you just wear gloves if you're concerned?

Thanks for response. I'll wear gloves, but I'm worried how much toxicity i had received during one year that I'm working. Because of eczema, my hands are always dry and with tiny cracks, so I wanted to know does touching pesticide packaging with them puts me in more danger.

Nobody is going to be able to answer your question - too many unknowns.

The only thing to do is to consult a doc.

Depends on the pesticides you are talking about.
To be honest: I would be more worried about your lungs.

For the eczema: wear gloves!
(actually you should always wear gloves, even if you do not have eczema)
