Patch Testing to Mentha piperita (Peppermint) Oil: The North American Contact Dermatitis Group Experience (2009-2020).

Study shows 0.6% prevalence of mint oil allergy. Most affected are females over 40, with common reactions on face and hands. Co-reaction with other fragrance allergens is common. Testing for mint oil allergy is important as it may be missed with standard fragrance tests.
