511 S.E.2d 102 (1999)

257 Va. 190

A NEW LEAF, INC., et al. v. Elaine R. WEBB.

Supreme Court of Virginia.

January 8, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Monica L. Taylor (Leisa Kube Ciaffone; Gentry, Locke, Rakes & Moore, on brief), Roanoke, for appellants.

Elaine R. Webb, Pro se.

Present: All the Justices.


KINSER, Justice.

In this appeal, we decide whether allergic contact dermatitis is compensable as an occupational disease under the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act (the Act). Because the claimant's contact dermatitis was caused by a reaction to allergens in certain flowers and not by cumulative trauma induced by repetitive motion, we will affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals that the condition is compensable under the Act.

I.
