Abstract

Diquat dibromide is a commonly used herbicide. The product label cautions against allowing the material to contact the skin as severe skin irritation is possible as well as absorption of the material into the systemic circulation. Waterproof footwear and clothing should be worn to minimize skin contact. A case of full thickness burns of the feet requiring skin grafting occurred following prolonged exposure of the soles of the feet to diquat dibromide.
