Apple is the innovator of a seemingly constant supply of interesting new electronic products — from Mac laptops to iPods, to the newest iPhones and iPads — it seems that just about everyone either has or wants to purchase a new Apple computer product. These new products are covered in a new “aluminum and stainless steel” alloy that is quite striking and beautiful. It seems, however, that some people have experienced allergic reactions to this metal, in the form on allergic contact dermatitis. It’s possible that the metal alloy used as the exterior to many new Apple products contains some amount of nickel – which causes itchy, blistering rashes in some people. It will be interesting to see if there are more and more reports of people having reactions to their Apple computer product as the popularity of these items continues to grow.
