Abstract
Triethanolamine is claimed to be a contact allergen, but some of the r eactions reported may be due to irritancy and/or cross or concomitant reactivity to other amines present in the test preparations. In our re cent Guinea pig maximization test, none of the animals reacted Trietha nolamine was then classified as a weak (Grade I) allergen. We plan to perform a similar study with other alkanolamines, known to be present in samples of triethanolamine, and hope to identify the primary sensit izer, if any.
