Dermal exposure assessment has been a developing area of research. Some studies have found favorable comparisons between direct and indirect methods of assessment, while others have found differences or a lack of correlation. It is often forgotten that correlations should not be expected between measured chemicals that were prevented from actually reaching the skin by the collection media and any measured metabolic excretion of what is absorbed by the same subjects. Not surprisingly, levels of exposure to pesticides during application vary by task.
Otherwise the producer, as well as the veterinarian, may administer any of these biologicals. The hazard is associated with either accidental inoculation, splashing the product into the eyes or mucous membrane, or contamination of the broken skin (211,212). In one survey, almost 10% of veterinarians reported a needle stick injury per year (212). The result may be an infection (certain live products), inflammation, or an allergic reaction. Inflammation or allergic reactions may occur from inoculating either live or killed products, the adjuvant, or the foreign protein in the product (211).
There are two main occupational hazards: allergic reactions and the development of antibiotic-resistant infections. There are many different products used as feed additives, but the main ones include penicillin, tetracycline, sulfamethazine, erythromycin, and virginiamycin. These same products plus many more are used therapeutically. Penicillin is the primary agent that may induce an allergic reaction manifest in the form of a skin reaction from direct contact, or possibly a systemic reaction from inhalation or inoculation.
