Nitrogen is a chemical substance used in cryobiology, cryotherapy
and agriculture. Here, we have reported a case of 19-years-old
male farmer that developed severe bullous lesions on both of his
legs after occupational exposure of nitrogen based liquid fertilizer
through the strawberry leaves. Fertilizer induced contact dermatitis
has extremely rare been reported in the literature. We have
highlighted the importance of protection from occupational exposure
to the fertilizers in this case.
Key words: contact dermatitis; nitrogen fertilizer; strawberry leaves
