Heavy bacterial growth in oil-water emulsions used as lubricants and cooling agents in the cutting and grinding of metals has been the cause of much trouble and expense to industries using large amounts of cutting compounds. This is due (1) to development of foul or sour odorsobjectionable to the workers,(2) to interference with the emulsification of the mixture, and (3) to dermatitis and skin infections which are often attributed to it. The oil dermatitis of workers in contact with cutting compounds, according to McConnell (1933), makes its first appearance as comedones in the orifices of the hair follicles. These small nodules become surrounded by reddish macular eruptions from one to several millimeters in diameter, and develop into papules. McConnell (1922) found that of 2060 workers coming in contact with theoil, 557 (27 per cent) suffered from oil dermatitis. Tower (1938) on the other hand states that in large industrial plants in New England the incidence is only from 0.1 to 2.7 per cent.There have been a number of theories advanced to explain the dermatitis. It is a widely held view, particularly among the workers themselves, that it is due to infection. The compound in circulating through a shop has ample opportunity to become contaminated by pathogenic organisms as it flows over the hands of workers and collects in pans around the machines into which the men frequentlyspit, and in which they sometimes stand. On the other hand, there is ordinarily no apparent inflammation at the site of the primary lesion such as would be expected if it were due to infection. Pustules sometimes form, but not as a
