DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Contact dermatitis mostly of a professional nature, due to intensive contact with narcissus juice. S.a.u. Narcissus, yellow. Besides the chellidonic acid (up to 2%) especially the needle-shaped calcium oxalate crystals have a mechanical-irritative effect on the skin. Microtraumas and skin injuries caused by this open an entrance for the toxic alkaloids. Daffodil dermatitis occurs mainly in occupationally exposed persons, especially on the hands, forearms and rarely on the face. Real contact allergies are very rare.
