title: [Phytodermatitis caused by burning bush of Moses].
abstract: The most well-known cause of phytophotodermatitis in Denmark is accidental contact with plants belonging to the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), such as hodgweed (Heracleum spondylium). However, many other plants with furocoumarins (psoralens) may induce the same kind of reaction. We describe a case of phytophotodermatitis caused by Dictamnus alba, gas plant or burning bush also known from the Bible as the "burning bush of Moses".
