No kidding, JD? Wow, that is some reaction. I sure hope it's simply a question of strange dyes and not a new allergy to wool in all its forms! I've heard of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_chemical_sensitivity" rel="nofollow">multiple chemical sensitivity,</a> which can start to affect someone at any age, but I think that's usually associated with chemicals like cleaners, perfumes, etc., not yarn fiber.

Alas, my needles are sitting by the wayside as I somehow developed an allergic reaction to my current WIP! No joke: I got real blistery and peely and itchy and pretty darn uncomfortable--exactly where the yarn came across my fingers! So I stopped and have been healing (slowly), but it's pretty depressing. Possible culprits: yarn brand (though I've used the same before), this particular (dye) lot, or (scarier!) wool altogether; but it could be anything, really. When I get better I will try with cotton or another type/brand/weight of wool; wishmeluck! P.S. I'm crazy sensitive to more and more things each day, it seems, but have you by chance ever heard of such a reaction? NICE!
