The incidence of adverse reactions appears to be higher when larger doses of isoniazid are prescribed. Adverse reactions include hypersensitivity reactions, hematologic changes, jaundice, fever, skin eruptions, nausea, vomiting, and epigastric distress. Severe, and sometimes fatal, hepatitis has been associated witii isoniazid tiierapy and may appear after many months of treatment. Peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling of the extremities) is the most common symptom of toxicity. 

Various types of skin eruptions, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, abdominal cramps, vertigo, and diarrhea can occur with administration of iodoquinol. 

Acetaminophen causes few adverse reactions when used as directed on the label or recommended by the primary health care provider. Adverse reactions associated with the use of acetaminophen usually occur with chronic use or when the recommended dosage is exceeded. Adverse reactions to acetaminophen include skin eruptions, urticaria (hives), hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia (a reduction in all cellular components of the blood), hypoglycemia, jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin), hepatotoxicily (damage to the liver), and hepatic failure (seen in chronic alcoholics taking the drug).

Adverse reactions to the gold compounds may occur any time during therapy, as well as many months after therapy has been discontinued. Dermatitis (inflammation of the skin) and stomatitis (inflammation of mucosa of the mouth, gums, and possibly the tongue) are the most common adverse reactions seen. Pruritus (itching) often occurs before the skin eruption becomes apparent. Photosensitivity reactions (exaggerated sunburn...

The most common clinical picture of non-immediate RCM reactions is a macu-lopapular exanthema, which resembles other drug-induced T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity reactions. The reported onset of skin eruptions 2-10 days after the first exposure to a RCM and 1-2 days after re-exposure to the same substance is typical for an allergic drug reaction with a sensitization phase. 

Some patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria develop wheals and even angioedema after aspirin or NSAIDs. In others, aspirin causes an obvious increase in the underlying urticaria. The reaction may occur in just 15 min or up to 24 h following aspirin ingestion, but on average it develops within 1-4 h. Most cases resolve within a few hours, but in severe reactions bouts of multiform skin eruptions, covering most of the body, may continue for 10 days after aspirin intake [8,16,17]. 

Scarlatiniform rash Bright, scarlet-colored skin eruption that occurs in patches over the entire body with eventual peeling as a result of streptococcal infection. 

Plants are detrimental in many ways to the health and well-being of man. It is difficult to quantify the health aspects of weeds. Weeds known to produce allergenic reactions in humans can be divided into two major groups. One group produces skin eruption as a result of bodily contact with the plant, while the other produces symptoms usually affecting the respiratory tract through inhalation of pollen grains. 

Allergenic plants causing skin eruption by contact include poison ivy (Rhus radicans L.), poison oak (Rhus toxicodendron L.), poison sumac (Rhus vernix L.), and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.). In the United States, poison ivy and poison oak cause nearly 2 million cases of skin poisoning and skin irritation annually, for a loss of 333,000 working days. In addition, these weeds cause 3.7 million days of restricted activity among those people who are susceptible to the toxins (1). 

Side effects may be as mild and rare as headache, nausea, and stomach upset for saw palmetto [23,24], However, some supplements may have serious side effects. Hypertension, euphoria, restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, skin eruptions, edema, and diarrhea were reported in 22 patients following long-term ginseng use at an average dose of 3 g of ginseng root daily [38]. Side effects reported with valerian use include headaches, hangover, excitability, insomnia, uneasiness, and cardiac disturbances. Valerian toxicity including ataxia, decreased sensibility, hypothermia, hallucinations, and increased muscle relaxation have been reported [39]. 

Chloracne is acne-like eruptions located on upper eyelids and under eyes, on skin of cheekbone part of cheeks, on the other side of ears, on the nose. Rather seldom, eruptions spread to skin of the axillary creases, inguinal region, chest, back, and hips. Appearance of chloracne is preceded by edema, erythema of skin. Eruptions are accompanied by... 

A more recent report shows clear sulfonamide-induced idiosyncratic responses in dogs (mostly Dobermans) that encompasses fever, arthropathy, blood dyscrasias (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or hemolytic anemia) hepatotoxicity, skin eruptions, uveitis, and keratoconjunctivitis sicca [65], These symptoms became apparent as soon... 

Within the first 2 to 3 days of exposure a person will experience symptoms such as malaise, fever, headache, chills, and backache. The fever can last 1 to 5 days. Usually after the fever is gone, a skin eruption or rash appears. It begins as a pimple lesion for 1 to 4 days, becomes blister-like for 1 to 4 days, and then fills with pus for 2 to 6 days. It then forms a crust that falls off 2 to 4 weeks after the first skin lesion appears, leaving pink scars. An important characteristic is that all smallpox lesions in any affected area are generally found in the same state. In contrast, chickenpox lesions are not synchronous they form in crops. Smallpox lesions are also said to be more numerous on the face and extremities rather than the trunk, unlike chickenpox. The case fatality rate in unvaccinated patients is 15 to 40%. In vaccinated people, the fatality rate is <1%. Patients with smallpox are infectious as soon as a rash is evident and remain infectious until their scabs fall off— a duration of about 3 weeks.3...

It is also necessary to bear in mind the possible outcome of an exposure. When the worst outcome is likely to be a minor disability, such as an irritating cough or an annoying skin eruption, then the risk is minimal, but it should still be reduced as close to zero as is feasible. On the other hand, when the worst outcome is a major disability, such as debilitating bronchial asthma, liver and kidney disease, destructive blood disease, brain or nerve damage, cancer, or untimely death, then hazard control is absolutely necessary. It becomes essential, then, that you as a manager know what the possible outcomes are, how to establish permissible limits of exposure, and ultimately how to control the real and potential hazard. 

Symptoms of exposure May cause weakness, confusion, depression of central nervous system, dyspnea, weak pulse, and respiratory failure. May irritate eyes and mucous membranes. Contact with skin may cause burns and dermatitis. Chronic effects may include gastrointestinal disorders, nervous disorders, tremor, confusion, skin eruptions, oliguria, jaundice, and liver damage (NIOSH, 1997 Patnaik, 1992). 

A report on the health effects of Japanese factory workers exposed to catechol and phenol for 2 years found that most of the workers complained of cough and sputum, occasional sore throat, and eye irritation. The respiratory disorders were not noted in the control group of workers. The incidence of skin eruptions (7/13) was also higher in the exposed workers compared with the controls (2/13). Concentrations of catechol in workroom air ranged from 8mg/m up to 322mg/m of air.
