Allergic contact dermatitis is essentially enantiospceific: sensitization to one enantiomer generally does not imply elicitation to the mirror‐image allergens. Examples from patients allergic to Frullania. and from the literature (usnic acids. 4‐methoxydalbergioes, γ‐methyl‐α‐methylene‐γ‐butyrolactones, frullanolides) are discussed.
