swell, [15]. ►
Erysipelas of the hands and forehead, [16].
► Erysipelas of the hands, [10]. [Caused by application of the
herb.] ► Very acute itching on the
hands, which became red; after some hours there developed vesicles
filled with transparent liquid, and surrounded by a very red areola;
these vesicles were more numerous between the fingers than on the rest
of the hand; they showed a general disposition to become clustered, and
were somewhat like the pustules occasioned by the itch insect; on the
next day, the itching became very violent, the vesicles completely
covered both hands, the itching was almost intolerable, especially at
night; when the vesicles became confluent, very large phlyctenules
developed and resembled an incomplete vesication by cantharides; this
condition persisted ten or twelve days, after which the inflammation
subsided and the hands desquamated. Even after three weeks small
vesicles continued to appear in the palms of the hands, and were
disposed to form groups, as if caused by the bites of insects. Very
great itching developed on the great toes, and a crop of vesicles
identical with those between the hands; this eruption on the feet was
certainly not caused by direct contact of Rue, but resulted from the
infection of the hands, and did not occur until several days after the
trouble commenced on the hands. The next year the same man came again in
contact with the leaves; the effects were more intense than before; for
three months the hands seemed denuded of skin, they looked as if they

fever, keeping the patient in bed five or six days, [20]. [350.] ► Next morning he observed that both his
hands were remarkably red and warm; on the third day the redness and
pain had increased to such an extent that the sensation was as if both
hands had been exposed to scalding vapors; he rubbed them gently with
sweet oil; towards evening they were densely covered with water
blisters, especially at the tips of the fingers, which had been most
exposed to the pollen; on the fourth day the swelling of the hands;
still continued to a considerable extent, between the blisters they
showed a dark-red color with a bluish tinge; on the fifth and sixth days
the swelling likewise spread over the posterior surface of the arm as
far as the elbow; embrocations of Chamomile and Elderflowers were
applied, and the blisters were opened; within the space of four weeks
the epidermis of the hands gradually peeled off, even in localities
where no blisters had existed, [14].
