| Résumé | Epidemics of contact allergy are of environmental origin. They may be overcome by reducing or removing exposure. Public vigilance, industrial surveillance and peer counseling networks must be used since these measures may end epidemics. If they fail, media coverage and consumer or patient associations have proved effective. Economic, political and pragmatic factors are involved. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. |
