Is this real?  I don't know anybody with this condition.  How about y'all?  I can't believe it is a very large percentage who are at risk...more sensationalism by jurnotards!

The article said the allergy is rare and I suspect that's true.  On the other hand, a lot of people have an adverse skin reaction to touching something -- the docs call it "contact dermatitis"; red, itchy, puffy -- and they just take note and move on without a fuss.  If any have ever found their wristwatch irritating after a while, that's usually why.

A big stink is being made over this, I think, because of the children.
