Histamine Reaction to Jewellery
How to spend money that you'll never get back.
Has anyone else suffered a reaction to jewellery?
Having never worn a ring before I got married in 2020, and started wearing this gold band. But it brought my skin out in hives, big time. I can’t believe it.
It took me this long to get married, and now I don't wear the ring anymore!
Apparently this is quite common if you are histamine intolerant and it is because of the nickel that the gold is mixed with.
Other options include platinum or stainless steel which are hypoallergenic, or I could try getting this ring ‘dipped’ in platinum.
If you are suffering from skin problems, definitely look at the jewellery you are wearing. When I took the ring off, the symptoms get better almost instantly. So it must be the ring.
Any advice for the rest of us. I've been promising my wife I"ll get a tattoo of a ring instead - she's not that keen!
