The podiatric procedure of burring hyperkeratotic fungal infected toenails results in large quantities of nail dust aerosols. An extremely large percentage (31%) of podiatrists who were analyzed for immunoglobulin E (IgE) by antibody radioimmunoassay were found to have abnormally high levels. Incidence of precipitin antibodies to Trichophyton rubrum in sera of those in practice from 0 to 15 years was 23%, and those in practice 16 years or more was 29%. In this study, podiatrists who were chronically exposed to nail dust aerosols after years of practice presented with symptoms of conjunctivitis, rhinitis, asthma, coughing, hypersensitivity, and impaired lung function.
打磨感染真菌的角质化过度的趾甲这一足病治疗操作会产生大量的指甲粉尘气溶胶。通过抗体放射免疫分析法检测免疫球蛋白E（IgE）的足病医生中，发现有极大比例（31%）的人IgE水平异常高。从业0至15年的从业者血清中红色毛癣菌沉淀素抗体的发生率为23%，从业16年及以上的为29%。在本研究中，多年从业后长期接触指甲粉尘气溶胶的足病医生出现了结膜炎、鼻炎、哮喘、咳嗽、过敏反应及肺功能受损等症状。
