Gold? WTF[edit]

Gold as an allergen? Isn't that a little bit far-fetched? Should that maybe read "Gold Alloys", because some alloys of gold do provoke allergies. Zaphraud (talk) 23:25, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting from the article: "Gold metal was voted Allergen of the Year in 2001 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society. Gold contact allergies affect mostly women.[123] Despite this, gold is a relatively non-potent contact allergen, in comparison with metals like nickel."Greenman (talk) 22:27, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
