Beginning in 1948, several groups of dermatologists reported on case histories involving dermatitis caused by contact with carpet beetles (Coleoptera: Dermestidae). These patients experienced multiple symptoms that included itching, pruritic, and papulovesicular eruptions. Biopsies and clinical tests confirmed that the hairs of carpet beetle larvae in the genera Anthrenus, Attagenus, Dermestes or Trogoderma caused these reactions.
