Abstract
Although fulminates were widely used in the past as explosives, they are now little encountered. Fulminate itch is of historical interest. We have investigated a factory utilising silver fulminate in the manufacture of explosive snaps. Workers in this factory still experience the ‘itch’, which we consider to have both an irritant and an allergic basis.
