Has this ever happened to you?


First of all, why do some people's ears react to earrings and what is it about the earrings that causes the reaction?

 The reason some people react is because they have developed an allergy to the metals used in some earrings. Earring allergies/metal allergies are contact allergies that have developed from being in contact with a reactive substance. Over time, your immune system develops a response to the reactive substance that it is in contact with. Once your body develops a response, even a few moments of contact can cause a severe reaction. For that reason, a person can go years without having an allergic reaction to their earrings while their body is building up a defense and then seemingly overnight they can get bad reactions to the same earrings.

What else do you need to know?

A lot of people seek out nickel free earrings because they have heard that nickel is a very reactive metal that people are commonly allergic to. However, it is not the only metal you should avoid. Fashion earrings made with alloys like surgical steel, stainless steel, brass, and even gold contain metals like iron, copper, molybdenum, and more that can be just as reactive with the human body as nickel. It's like being lactose intolerant and eating ice cream labeled "gluten free" and expecting it not to bother you -- the gluten is not the issue, the lactose is. 


If "nickel free" isn't good enough, what is?
