Abstract

Although naturally derived pyrethrins are well recognized sensitizers, there is currently some degree of controversy regarding the sensitizing potential of synthetic pyrethroids. The literature is briefly reviewed, and an outbreak of several cases of urticaria occurring in children from 1 household and associated with airborne exposure to permethrin is reported.
