Wearing nitrile gloves (not latex) while handling tulips will protect the skin and will prevent "tulip fingers." In rare cases, affected individuals can develop hoarseness, a runny nose, and difficulty breathing.The skin reaction will heal within a few days, but future contact with tulips can cause the effects to return. Fingernails may become brittle and deformed. This rash can affect both the fingertips as well as the area around the fingernails. After repeated exposures, the skin's reactions get worse and a painful rash can occur. Tuliposide is converted to tulipalin A, which causes the skin to become sensitized–think of this like developing an allergy. Tuliposide is found in other plants, including certain types of lilies. It is found mostly in the outer layers of tulip bulbs. It is also called "tulip itch" and "tulip nail." A chemical called tuliposide is responsible for this reaction. "Tulip fingers" is an irritating rash that can occur in people who handle tulips for work or pleasure. All symptoms resolved within a few days except for weakness reported for up to 5 days. In 1978, however, 6 adults in Yugoslavia ate a goulash prepared with 5 tulip bulbs (purposefully substituted for onions) and developed an array of symptoms: vomiting, nausea, shortness of breath, weakness, increased salivation, feeling warm, sweating, and heart palpitations. Based on World War II era stories, boiling and eating fewer than 5 tulip bulbs per day only caused mild GI effects in adults. They have been intentionally eaten during times of famine. Tulip bulbs look like onions and are unintentionally eaten because of this similarity. These stories have been judged to be overblown cautionary tales, but they served as the basis for the recent movie "Tulip Fever."
