1. “Credible evidence supports the commission’s factual finding that claimant’s allergic contact dermatitis was not caused by “cumulative traumatic insults resulting from repetitive motion.” The record indicates that claimant’s allergic contact dermatitis was not causally linked to any repetitive motion that she performed at work. Allergic contact dermatitis is caused by the reaction of an individual’s immune system with a substance, such as chemicals contained in certain flowers, to which that individual has developed a hypersensitivity. It is not caused by the wear and tear associated with a repetitive motion. Although [Webb’s] duties included designing and constructing floral arrangements and “processing” flowers delivered to [A New Leaf’s] store, no evidence linked the motions associated with these activities to the outbreak of dermatitis on [Webb’s] hands and arms.”
