[Geraniol contact allergy].

A 32-year-old female patient working in a company for baking ingredients, who had been handling grated lemon peel and lemon oil (oleum citri) for several years, developed allergic contact dermatitis of the fingers of both her hands. By means of thin-layer chromatography, we identified geraniol in both lemon peel and lemon oil and proved it to be the only source of the allergic reaction.
