The reporter stated that her co-worker had developed erythema and pruritis on her wrist. The reporter was advised that the product is not expected to cause skin irritation. The reporter was also advised that people may have individual sensitivities. A recommendation was made to have the co-worker wash the affected area for 20 minutes.
