I am allergic to certain types of metal. The only metal I have found that I can wear on my body without any problems is stainless steel. So my Ring thing so far is the only ring I can wear without have my skin turn all red and start bleeding/flaking. Other items that cause problems include: belt buckles, necklaces, and watches. When I go commando, I have to make sure that the button on my jeans is covered with a piece of cloth otherwise at the end of the day I will have a circle imprinted on my skin, from where the skin got irritated from the metal.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone else have any weird allergies they would like to throw out there? So far I am the only one in my group of friends who is allergic to metal, which really sucks as there are so many cool things for geeks to wear. For example, I can't wear my "uber geek" geek tag. Which I bought before I knew I was allergic to metal, (I actually found out by wearing that geek tag around my neck, it turned bright red and my dad told me I was probably allergic to metal.)
