AB  - The podiatric procedure of burring hyperkeratotic fungal infected toenails 
      results in large quantities of nail dust aerosols. An extremely large percentage 
      (31%) of podiatrists who were analyzed for immunoglobulin E (IgE) by antibody 
      radioimmunoassay were found to have abnormally high levels. Incidence of 
      precipitin antibodies to Trichophyton rubrum in sera of those in practice from 0 
      to 15 years was 23%, and those in practice 16 years or more was 29%. In this 
      study, podiatrists who were chronically exposed to nail dust aerosols after years 
      of practice presented with symptoms of conjunctivitis, rhinitis, asthma, 
      coughing, hypersensitivity, and impaired lung function.
