"Recent reports have highlighted the emergence of allergic contact dermatitis to a potent sensitizer, dimethyl fumarate (DMF), which has been used as a fungicide for storage and transport of furniture made in China and imported into the European Union (EU) (1, 2). We report the case of an occupational contact allergy related to the presence of DMF in a work suit."
