Description
Claimant (appellant) filed her petition November 15, 1963, under the provisions of the occupational disease compensation law, claiming entitlement to total and permanent disability benefits. She alleged the disability occurred August 16, 1962, while she was in the employ of defendant (respondent) Idaho Potato Processors, Inc. She was employed by defendant at its plant in Burley, commencing September 13, 1960, specking potatoes at the trim table. At the end of each work week it was customary to have two or three of the workers clean the working area and the steel cutters used in the plant. In this operation the steel cutters were taken apart and dipped in solutions containing an acid detergent. The first time claimant was assigned to the clean-up detail she did not use the acid detergent and the second time for only about half an hour. On January 8, 1961, on the occasion of her third clean-up duty she used the acid from 10:30 a. m. to 4:00 p. m., during which time she began to feel a burning sensation in her hands. That evening a red spot appeared on one hand; the next morning the redness had spread over the back of the hand. Her supervisor advised her to see a doctor, which she did on January 10, 1961, by which time the malady had spread to both hands. The doctor diagnosed the condition as ""allergic type rash"" attributable to ""washing compound at plant."" [I.C. § 72-1204(9)].
