- LegitShady 6y agoYou can become hypersensitive (read: allergic) to a lot of things, including nickel. It won't happen to everyone but its more common in women that you'd think, perhaps related to jewelry.
- yomly 6y agoI worked in a wet lab and we were warned around the dangers of sensitization to bench-top solvents and reagents. This source might explain it (didn't really read it much) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK234810/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK234810/ Edit: Allegedly people can get sensitized to pesticides on fruits and then exhibit allergic reactions to "fruit xyz" (without knowing it was the chemicals on/leached into the fruit)
