📑 New research analyzing 15 years of data reveals pierced earrings could be behind the surge in metal allergies!
🌎 While the European Union enforces strict regulations on nickel release from jewelry, Japan lacks similar protections and the US only regulates metal content (especially lead) in children's jewelry - falling short of the EU's comprehensive nickel standards.
👂 A comprehensive study from Japan just published eye-opening findings - inflammation from pierced earrings has skyrocketed from 5% to 43% of patients with suspected metal allergies between 2005-2020!
Even more concerning: 81% of people who experienced inflammation from their pierced earrings tested positive for metal allergies, compared to 60% without earring issues.
The culprits? Metals like nickel, palladium, chromium and cobalt commonly found in jewelry.
👉If your pierced ears show signs of redness, itching, or irritation, your earrings might be causing a metal allergy that could impact your overall health, not just your earlobes.
