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?

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.
