Poultry Processors
摘要
Poultry processors are exposed to a very demanding and dirty job exposed to physical, chemical, and biological hazards, namely, with infection of skin abrasions by Pyogenic coccus or Erysipelothrix insidiosa (Erysipeloid). Prurigo-like or scabies-like lesions can develop due to hypersensitivity to Dermatophagoides spp. or Dermanyssus gallinae. Wet work and glove use favor irritant dermatitis, chronic paronychia, and interdigital web intertrigo aggravated by Candida albicans infection. Allergic contact dermatitis is due mainly to rubber protection material and disinfectants for the skin and the working surfaces (chlorhexidine, formaldehyde and its releasers, and glutaraldehyde). Skin exposure to the feathers and particularly to the viscera and fluids can cause protein contact dermatitis and contact urticaria.
