Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Have noticed in about the past eight months, that socks I buy, with an elastic section at the top, all give me a reaction in the area where this part of the sock sits against the skin. Anyone else have similar? Socks from a couple of years ago do not give the same reaction.... itchy and red tiny blotches in the area...... Wonder what they are putting in the elastic....??????

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Jorge, aren't skin irritations the worst!? I hate it when instead of sleeping, I just lay there and scratch. Fortunately I've found some fabulous products to help with itchy skin and/or really dry skin - both of which plague me from time to time. A large part of this is using a laundry detergent with no harmful chemicals (all grocery store brands have the harmful chemicals in them that irritate our skin) - http://www.katu.com/news/story.asp?id=57295 (poor dog). We have SO many chemicals bombarding us daily, it's a wonder that we don't have MORE problems than we do. Something I would suggest for all of us - reduce the toxic/chemical overload we have on our bodies. Help our bodies fight the good fight for OUR sake! I feel so much better after eliminating all possible chemicals from my personal environment. Maybe switching brands (or going to white socks) will help for now. I wish you the best.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi Jorge, I cannot tolerate elastics either. There has to be some sort of cloth between me and that artificial stuff. And, that stuff is in socks, underwear, the waist band of slacks, and now many artificial fabrics use the same components in them. All chemicals that are somehow turned into fabrics and elastic. Just as Sharon says below. It seems to be nasty chemicals. But, I must say, for me, a lot of 100% cotton socks seem to cause blisters easily when walking. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a particular brand or type of natural fabric socks that anyone has noticed does not cause blisters, or is woven finely?
