Metal working fluids (MWFs) are industrial coolants and lubricants used to reduce friction and heat generated with the machining, grinding and fabrication operations of metal products and to lubricate during metalworking operations. These fluids can have additives that are corrosion inhibitors, emulsifiers, anti- foaming agents, preservatives and biocides. The formula of oil used depends on the raw material or cutting operation to be carried out. MWFs can be irritating to the skin. Skin problems include mechanical trauma to the skin, infections, oil acne, folliculitis and irritant and allergic dermatitis. Small cuts to the skin from metal shavings are a common injury. These cuts can become infected as a result from contact with MWFs fluids contaminated with microbial organisms. Exposure to straight oils can result in folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles) after having direct contact of oil with the skin. Exposed skin or skin under clothing heavily contaminated with oil results in blocked skin follicles. Irritant Dermatitis is the most common type of skin problem due to exposure to MWFs. Soluble and synthetic metal working fluids are strong alkaline solutions (pH of approximately 9—very basic) containing numerous additives and solvents. These solutions remove protective oils in the skin and damage proteins in its outer layer. Allergic Dermatitis is less common than irritant dermatitis. The additives in MWFs such as biocides, preservatives, corrosion inhibitors …
Via www.dermtv.com – Developing a rash from poison ivy surely puts a damper on your summer fun. But how does that rash find its way to body parts that never came in contact with that pesky plant? Is the rash contagious? Can you spread it to your friends? Dr. Schultz will get to the truth about poison ivy. Transcription People ask me, can they spread poison ivy on themselves or to the people around them , and the short answer is, no you can’t. When you catch poison ivy, it’s because you’ve touched the plant, you’ve broken the leaf, and the oils from inside the leaf get on your hand, and with your hand, you touch yourself, you touch other places, and that’s how you’ve put the poison ivy on you. But once you wash yourself that day, you’ve washed off those oils from the plant and you can’t spread it any longer. However, all of the spots you touched that day before you washed yourself will develop the rash for the poision ivy, but each successive spot has less oil, takes longer to come out, and that’s why you see the poison ivy coming out over a period of almost ten days. But you’re not spreading it on yourself. It’s already happened before you got washed. Video Rating: 5 / 5

I was told I had Rhus Derm, but everything I’ve read says it’s a contact dermatitis. I have not come in direct contact with poison ivy. Was I misdiagnosed?
Circa ‘94 or so I got an IV for some sort of immunity for poison ivy. Does anyone know anything about poison ivy IV’s? I distinctly remember getting it as I had really bad reactions to poison ivy and used to go out in the woods a lot. It *might* have been a shot but I think it was put straight in to a vein. Can’t find anything about it on google. Did they have problems with them? I seem to recall it gave me a year’s immunity somehow and cleared up the poison ivy affliction (urushiol-induced contact dermatitis).
