This monograph contains three case studies that describe realistic encounters with patients who have skin diseases associated with agriculture, and is designed to inform health care providers. Case study one documents a 22-year-old agricultural worker with Contact Dermatitis. Case study two documents a 48-year-old nursery worker with Contact Urticaria. Case study three documents skin cancer and sun damage in a farmer. The cases are followed by questions that measure the reader's existing knowledge about skin diseases and agriculture. Booklet contains photographs of described skin diseases, as well as charts and tables.
