COMMENTS - Clarke quoted the case of a woman in which the application of a linseed poultice to an ulcerOpen painful sore on skin or mucous membraneAn open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane.
over the right shin-bone produced an attack of asthma which nearly proved fatal.
It was not the first time this
had happened to her and she protested, but in vain, against the doctor's order.
If a linseed poultice even come
near her she felt constriction of the chest.
The doctor who ordered the poultice and reported the case, was speedily summoned to witness the worst
attack of asthma he had ever seen.
The pati ent was livid and struggling for breath.
When the poultice was
removed the symptoms gradually subsided.
A crop of herpes appeared where the poultice had been and an
eruption of urticaria over back, chest and arms.
Dr.
A G.
Towner related his own experi ences, noting that when he lived in New York state he could handle
linseed in all forms freely, but after moving to Illinois, it
affected him powerfully.
Once he rubbed his eye while preparing a poultice; intense conjunctivitis came on at once, chemosis, and in
an hour the eye was closed and did not come right again for three days.
The irritation passed along the
lachrymal duct and the same burning and irritation took place in the nose, nearly driving him wild.
The swelling closed the nostrils and he had to b reathe through his mouth.
The irritation still spread, affecting
the throat, which was covered with large white blisters and a desperate attack of bronchial asthma supervened,
slightly relieved by large doses of Ip.
In two hours, the skin became affected w ith an attack of “hives” (urticaria).
“I was one complete blotch from
the crown of my head to the end of my toes, a complete bodily eruption, smart, sting, burn.” He had five of
these attacks.
