An outbreak of dermatitis cases among 198 orange pickers employed by a Tulare County, California, packinghouse was investigated. Dermatitis was contracted by 114 (58%) of the 198 workers exposed when Omite-CR-treated fields were harvested. The dermatitis occurred predominantly in the exposed areas of the neck and chest. A dose-response association with dermatitis was suggested for Omite-CR exposure, but not for Carzol, Omite-CR + Carzol, or other pesticides. Because no violations of pesticide preharvest intervals or application rates were found, it appears that residue degradation was not given adequate consideration in the registration of Omite-CR, thus compromising the safety of the worker.
对加利福尼亚州图莱里县一家包装厂雇佣的198名橙子采摘工中爆发的皮炎病例进行了调查。在收获经奥美特-CR处理过的田地时，198名接触者中有114人（58%）感染了皮炎。皮炎主要发生在颈部和胸部的暴露部位。有迹象表明接触奥美特-CR与皮炎存在剂量反应关系，但接触卡佐尔、奥美特-CR + 卡佐尔或其他农药则不存在这种关系。由于未发现违反农药收获前间隔期或施用量的情况，看来在奥美特-CR注册时未充分考虑残留降解问题，从而危及了工人的安全。
