Abstract
Glyphosate (N‐[phosphonomethyl]glycine) is a nonselective herbicide used in agriculture as a foliage spray for the control and the destruction of herbaceous plants. Adverse skin reactions due to contact with this compound have been rarely described. We report a case of a 78‐year‐old woman presenting with extensive chemical burns on her trunk and legs caused by accidental contact with a glyphosate‐surfactant formulation. The lesions healed in four weeks without scarring.
