PPD sensitization really sucks. Published article in academic journal:

Textile dye allergic contact dermatitis following paraphenylenediamine
sensitization from a temporary tattoo. By: Saunders, Helen; O'Brien,
Timothy; Nixon, Rosemary. Australasian Journal of Dermatology,
Nov2004, Vol. 45 Issue 4, p229, 3p; DOI:
10.1111/j.1440-0960.2004.00110.x; (AN 14848718)

Textile dye allergy is frequently caused by azo dyes, which can
cross-react with structurally similar compounds, including
paraphenylenediamine. A case of allergic contact dermatitis to azo
textile dyes, presenting principally as a sock dermatitis, is
presented. The patient also gave a history of an episode of scalp
dermatitis consistent with contact allergy to paraphenylenediamine in
hair dye. It is proposed that paraphenylenediamine sensitization from
a temporary skin tattoo may have been the primary sensitizing event
for these reactions.

Dayum. Wouldn't it be nice if poor farmer in marginal regions could
sell their henna and indigo crops instead of PPD manifacturers making
us itch?
