I'm not sure if this has been asked before,
Is anyone here allergic/sensitive to metals?
(I am)

Not anything I know of,

Nothing consumable or that I've come across enough to connect with an allergy.

Oh, it's kind of like how some people (like me, for one) have problems with wearing metal jewelry. Even the posts of good gold earrings eventually cause skin reactions, and most other metals are out of the question. Titanium seems ok, but other than wedding rings there's little variety to be found in titanium jewelry.

Yes, Priestess, that is the reason why I prefer gold, platin, perls and diamonds :bounce:

As for jewelery,

I'm glad most cheap jewelery is made of nickle, or a lil step up silver. I've never had any nice jewelery like gold or more... but iron makes my skin swell and then turn red, like a lil burn. I've always assumed I was just allergic to iron oar. Who knows?
