title: [Dermatitis outbreaks caused by Pyemotes].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We describe three outbreaks of pyemotes dermatitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We undertook case-control studies and samples of several suspected materials were taken.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were 126 cases, with no cases admitted in hospitals. Contact which suspected vegetable materials were the only risk factor identified. Among orange picker workers risk factor was the exposure to orange trees, where Pyemotes mite was found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To our knowledge this kind of occupational risk among orange pickers has not been described before.
