Be careful, Mobile Can Trigger Allergic Reactions

Using the phone for long periods can cause negative effects on health. One of them turned out to also trigger allergic reactions. In recent years, dermatologists from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology found cases of allergy in the ear and along the jaw line.

The number of cases of allergy patients is also increasing. However, it is known when the patients discontinue the use of cell phones, allergy goes away by itself. The study found that symptoms such as allergic reactions from metal on the phone and is most often caused by nickel. Worldwide, nickel allergy occurred in three percent of men and 20 percent female.

"Women are more vulnerable to natural allergic reaction to this than men because their skin is more sensitive to metal materials, such as earrings or jewelry metal," said Dr. Clifford W. Bassett, an allergist from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, as quoted by the New York Times.

Unclear how many people who experience allergic reactions due to their phones. But from the medical literature known to quite a lot of cases of allergic phones. In a typical case, described by researchers at Brown University and published in the journal CMAJ in 2008, a 18-year-old man who suffered a strange rash on the right side of his face that continues to grow.

After testing his cell phone headsets, known to contain nickel if positive, he switched to phones that are not made of nickel-free. Redness and rash is gone. The researchers then tested 22 popular mobile phone models and found levels of nickel in 10 phones, especially in the headset and the menu button.

For those of you prone to allergies, especially if in contact with metal, most likely cell phone use would trigger an allergic reaction. Prior to the more severe allergy attack, you can perform allergy tests hospital to get a clear and specific information.
