A 37-year-old recrute in the Royal Dutch Army developed blisters on the right cheek approximately 30 minutes after a boot camp exercise in the mangroves of the island of Curaçao. This bullous dermatitis was caused by direct contact with sap from the bark of the manzanilla tree (Hippomane mancinella). As a member of the family Euphorbiaceae, all parts of this tree are highly toxic. Even rain drops falling from the leaves can cause a bullous dermatitis. Usually, symptomatic treatment will allow healing of the dermatitis in a matter of weeks.
一名37岁的荷兰皇家陆军新兵，在库拉索岛红树林进行新兵训练营演习约30分钟后，右侧脸颊出现水泡。这种大疱性皮炎是由直接接触马疯大戟树（Hippomane mancinella）树皮的汁液引起的。作为大戟科的一员，这种树的所有部分都具有剧毒。即使是从树叶上掉落的雨滴也会引起大疱性皮炎。通常，对症治疗会使皮炎在几周内痊愈。
