A 30-year-old chemical process worker presented with an itchy red scaly rash affecting his right thumb. The appearance was of a severe irritant dermatitis. Careful history taking and a detailed assessment to his personal pretective gloves and of his workplace did not reveal any potential cause.
Eventually the physician enquired about other activities. It transpired that he had purchased an acetoxysilane-based filler for crackle between his bath and the surrounding tiles, and had used his bare thumb as the grouting tool. The physician explained that this activity was equivalent to pickling his thumb in vinegar. He stayed off work for a week and applied aqueous cream to his skin while it healed.

>Paul Carpenterさま、コメントありがとうございます。鉛中毒は、神経系に作用しますが、末梢神経の場合まだ、「わかりやすい」と思われますが、中枢神経の場合、診断が難しいのではないかと思っています。
旧日本軍の毒物の件は、寡聞少見のため、その顛末は存じあげません。（ちょっと、四文字熟語を使ってみました)経験上、こういった事例って、忘れていた頃、何か文献や本を読んでいると出てきたりするんですね。また、その「情報」にめぐり合えたら、Blogに書いてみたいと思います。
