Allergy to synthetics IS "Allergic contact dermatitis.

Like the title says. And notice there is nothing here about this Allergy. Strange?
Allergies to polyester and other synthetics is called Allergic contact dermatitis.
Does this make it any easier to believe or absorb?
Here is a link to 1000's of picture of it. Look through these until you find one like yours. Remember it looks a little different on everyone. Find a pic of the same body area as you have issue with too.

Thanks.  I bookmarked the page.  It isn't something I take lightly.  I do remember having a reaction on the backs of my thighs when I was just a kid any time I wore short pants in the backseat of my parents' car.  The seat was a vinyl bench seat.  I would instantly get boils on the backs of both thighs.  I nearly forgot about that.  I don't think it's strange that folks have an allergy to this chemical agent.
