Contact dermatitis to phenol-formaldehyde resin in two plywood factory workers.

Abstract	Two cases of occupational allergic contact dermatitis in plywood mill workers are presented. Although both patients thought they were allergic to sawdust, they were in fact allergic to a phenol-formaldehyde resin used to bond the plywood sheets together. Both patients only developed their dermatitis when they came into contact with uncured glue.
