You May Be Allergic to That Gold Necklace

If you wear gold jewelry most of the time and you can't understand that itchy feeling around your neck and wrist area, you may be allergic to the metals in your necklace and bracelet. 

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, after examining almost 4,000 people found that nearly 25% of them were allergic to the gold and nickel in fashion jewelry.  this allergic reaction can cause itching, redness and/or a rash. 

 If you have an allergy to gold or nickel, you can always find some very fashionable sterling silver jewelry to wear instead.
