Concerned about school supplies exacerbating nickel allergy symptoms? For products that are used often, it’s a good idea to test for nickel with Nickel Alert™. Easy, accurate, and safe for all metal items, Nickel Alert will provide a positive test for even extremely low levels of nickel.

With some mobile devices previously showing a positive test result for nickel, it would be a good idea to test those items due to the frequent contact. If a positive result is found, consider a cover that will provide the necessary protection. 

Musical instruments are often another source for nickel.  When possible, test those instruments before purchasing, even the strings on stringed instruments may test positive for nickel.  Ensure your student’s success in band by testing first and avoiding the rash!

More people are becoming aware of the nickel found in belt buckles and so are switching to NickelSmart, the Certified Nickel Free brand! If you’ve made the change and are still having some abdominal rash problems, consider testing the metallic buttons and snaps of your jeans, pants, and shorts. If these test positive for nickel, they can be changed out with nickel free buttons and rivets packets. 

On rare occasions, the problem may persist indicating that there may be an allergy to more metals than nickel. A visit to your allergist or dermatologist can provide an accurate diagnosis.Titanium is most often recommended by doctors worldwide for multiple metal allergies. Many of NoNickel’s nickel free titanium belts are guaranteed for life to never break or fail in any manner. All the belts are guaranteed for life to never test positive for nickel!
