“…allergen in honey (Helbling and Wuethrich 1987) and can cause allergic contact and photoallergic contact dermatitis (Mark et al 1999). Taraxacum officinale inflorescences in orchards are perceived as a serious competitor to flowering apple and pear trees for honeybee visits, and much time and expense is spent mowing to remove them.…”

is a perennial weed occurring in parks, gardens, pastures, orchards, roadsides, vegetable gardens, agricultural crops and horticultural crops. A common weed worldwide, it was originally introduced from Eurasia and now occurs in every province of Canada. It is an aesthetic problem during flowering and seed production, interrupting turfgrass uniformity and density; it reduces yields of agricultural crops; it causes slower drying of hay; its pollen is allergenic; and it acts as an alternative host for several pests and diseases. A number of herbicides are available for its control. Mechanical removal of T. officinale plants has limited success, due to the regenerative capacity of the long taproot. Insects, fungi, sheep and geese have been considered as biological control agents for dandelion.

“…Photoallergic contact dermatitis (PACD) is an allergic reaction to a photoactivated antigen applied to the skin, which occurs in subjects previously sensitized to the same chemical, or to an immunologically similar chemical (cross‐sensitization) . PACD has particular relevance in the area of drug and cosmetic safety, as well as in occupational medicine . PACD is considered as an uncommon or rare condition, and limited data are available concerning incidence.…”

“…Pesticides with the ability to cause phototoxic or photoallergic reactions include the fungicide chlorothalonil (Daconil, Bravo, Echo, Exotherm Termil, Forturf, Mold-Ex, and Nopcocide N-96), a commonly used pesticide that can produce phototoxic skin eruptions upon light exposure and skin contact (Matsushita et al, 1996). The pesticides folpet and captan have been reported to induce photoallergic reactions (Mark et al, 1999). We suspect that photoirritation and/or photoallergic contact dermatitis may be seen with some other common pesticides, such as bithionol, dichlorophene, dimethylol dimethyl hydantoin, and fenticlor (Lim, 2009).…”
