J Am Med Assoc, Sep 1935; 105: 819: INFECTION OF SKIN FROM MICA. To the Editor: -- I am out on the Big Ditch, 17 miles from Riverside, Calif. We are building the last 7 miles, in Mocking Bird Canyon, through an old river bottom, and it is one wet job. We carry about 400 men on our rolls all the time. We do have one time with boils, and infection from mica. It will penetrate the hands, and after two days a terrible infection will develop. It acts in a peculiar way, seeming to bore right in through the skin and forming blebs, which swell up and fill with fluid in size from a dime to a quarter. We blame lack of care the men take of themselves for the boils, or rubbing of oil. Have you any sugestions? Where can I find discussion of the subject? I am interested how to prevent such occurrences. Robert M. Dodsworth, M.D., Perris, Calif.
