Background
Beech tar is used in insulation tape, tar paper, and topical medications.
Rothenberg and Hjorth found that positive patch-test reactions to a
mixture of wood tars consisting of pine, juniper, beech, and birch often
produce false-positive reactions. When a mixture of wood tars is positive,
each tar should be tested individually.
