Abstrakt: Benomyl is a widely used fungicide. Contact allergy to benomyl has been reported in a few cases. We describe a group of 62 workers, exposed to benomyl. None had contact dermatitis from benomyl. It appears that benomyl at most is a weak sensitizer. We suggest that earlier-reported allergy may represent cross-reactions and/or that the development of contact allergy to benomyl requires previous exposure to other chemically related pesticides.
