The usual symptoms will be the same as any other contact dermatitis. A rash will form, often accompanied by itching. The more severe symptoms can be exhibited from a serious systemic allergic reaction instead of a simple local one. Systemic reactions can be extremely dangerous and could even result in death if untreated. These types of reactions often occur quickly but are treatable. If you are experiencing any of the following, a rash that includes most of your body, impaired breathing, swelling of the facial area, or dizziness or weakness, you should seek medical treatment immediately.
