Notes:
Plants of the caper family (Capparidaceae), which is the tropical relative of the mustard family (Cruciferae), yield ‘mustard oil’ (iso thiocyanate). A review has been made of reported effects on the skin and mucous membranes of some of these plants, of their geographical distribution, and of some opportunities for human contact with them. Plants which yield iso thiocyanates can produce irritant dermatitis and some probably can produce allergic contact dermatitis. The Capparidaceae family provides an example of the necessity of recording botanical names rather than common names for plant species, when reporting contact dermatitis from plants.
