9 cases of contact sensitivity to Dittrichia viscosa , mainly with an airborne pattern, aree described. All patient reacted to the fresh leaf of die plain and to its ethereal extracts at 1 and 0.5% pet., and some of them also to that at 0.1% pet. Positive reactions to Frullania dilatata, Laurus nobilis , some other members of the Composite, and helenin were observed, suggesting the diagnosis of a sesquiterpene‐lactone‐induced allergic contact dermatitis.
