There were used 6 kinds of the ordinary adhesive tapes, 5 kinds of allegedly hypoallergenic adhesive tapes and 5 kinds of Scotch tapes, ell having been used as is. The tapes were removed 2 days later and the eruptions were scaled by the criteria of Fisher. Two days after the test the positive skin reactions were observed in 5-21% and 7-10% among the students tested with adhesive and Scotch tapes respectively, while 4 days after the test the positive reactions were seen in 1-9% and 2-5% res pectively.

There were no significant differences in skin reaction rates between the ordinary and the allegedly hypoallergenic adhesive tapes.
