I don't know that I have this. But metal's high on the list of suspects.Has anyone experienced this?I have been cutting spring steel and brass recently, sanding the steel,and rubbing it on a stone, and now have an itchy rash on my forearms,underarms, sides, and waistband. I have itchy, ugly nodules on myhands, especially on the index fingers. My hands tingle, and I can feelsome pain when I abrade my hand against the cloth of my pockets as Ireach in for my keys. I took a little antihistamine and, sure enough,the itchiness was somewhat mitigated.Not good. Gloves and clean-room technique are not high on my list ofpleasurable things.er

Jon, Those machines were made to measure a foot. Oh, wait, I get it. That's how your gonads were exposed. ERS
