Executive summary:

A brief published paper describes a skin irritation study in rabbits using the method of Draize et al. (1944). Potassium perrhenate (0.5 g) was applied (presumably as a covered patch) to the intact and abraded skin of six animals, presumably for 24 hours. No evidence of skin irritation was reported during an observation period of (presumably) 72 hours.
