“…In North Vietnam shoes made of its cause dermatitis, and when used for firewood it produces smoke with highly irritating particles (Holcik, 1959). In Venezuela, R. striata is called palo hinchon: 'the tree which swells', from the effect on the skin of its wood and sap (Hurtado, 1965(Hurtado, , 1968). The North American species of Rhus (Dawson, 1954;Kligman, 1957) produce no wood large enough to be useful.…”

Eighty-three cases of dermatitis caused by wood or sawdust have been seen at St John's Hospital for Dieases of the Skin, London, in the last 20 years. The clinical details and results of patch tests are reported. The literature on dermatitis, mucosal irritation, asthma and other toxic effects of woods of some 300 botanical species is reviewed at length, with an index of scientific, trade and vernacular names, chemical formulae of the known sensitizing substances, and a table of the 28 toxic woods most often encountered. Pathogenesis, diagnosis and prophylaxis are discussed.

“…The responses to poison oak urushiol were stronger and occurred at lower concentrations than those to Lithraea extracts [137]. Similar studies of cross-reactivity between Lithraea and other members of the Anacardiaceae were reported [138,139]. Concomitant reactions have been observed, but without systematic cross-reactivity, as in a patient sensitized to poison ivy or poison oak (Toxicodendron spp.)…”
