I am allergic to nickel, and this is a problem for me.  There is nothing
really that you can do about this, I use to put clear nail polish over the
snaps of jean/pants to eliminate the rashing on my stomach (you can't place
this on the metal of the ESD strap, it would make it unreliable.

 I can wear the strap if it is not directly on the wrist.  Have the strap
adjusted to the largest width, and place it nearer the elbow.  I don't seem
to react as bad as I do directly on the wrist.
Hope this helps.
Marie

Lance,

Some people are allergic to nickel.  Could your band have exposed nickel
plated surfaces?

Could the band have been acidentally immersed in a solvent/oil/something
which is being retained between the links and is constantly being exposed to
your operator's skin?

Hello everybody;

We've been experiencing a problem with one of our employees.  She has a
rash that develops when she wears the ESD writs straps.
When the metal comes in contact with her skin the rash shows up within a
few hours.  Are there any good remedies or has any one had this problem
before?  Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks

                        P.  Lance Mayes
