De acuerdo al Diccionario crítico de dudas inglés- español de medicina de Navarro: los médicos de habla inglesa confunden con frecuencia los adjetivos:"irritant" (irritante; que produce irritaciόn) e "irritative" (irritativo; causado por: irritaciόn). […] El verbo inglés "to irritate" tiene, como el español “irritar”, dos acepciones: provocar una irritaciόn o inflamaciόn en un όrgano, y molestar o sacar de quicio. El inglés dispone de dos adjetivos derivados de "to irritate": "irritant" para la primera acepciόn e "irritating" para la segunda. En castellano, lo más normal es reservar “irritante” para la primera acepción (por ejemplo: "irritant substance", sustancia irritante) y recurrir a molesto para la segunda: "I have a rash which is irritating me" (tengo un salpullido muy molesto); "irritating cough" (tos molesta)”. 2, record 1, Spanish, - sustancia%20irritante
