    It’s a contact allergy, so mostly it just makes you break out in a rash if you wear jewelry or work with tools that have been plated in nickel. It takes time before you break out, although people instantly falling over after getting a handful of change would be hilarious to see.

      Yeah my Mum has it and has to have her shirt tucked in her pants as the buttons often contain nickel.
      Like you say she gets a red round rash if she forgets.

        Ugh, same, but there’s a trick - Clear fingernail polish! It will eventually rub away, but it’s worth it so you don’t have to worry in the meantime.
