information Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Three days ago I bought a magnetic bracelet. I now have a dull pain in the wrist wearing it on and bruising on my wrist. I have now took the bracelet off. So question is, anyone had this reaction to one of these bracelets or know anyone, or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now took the bracelet off. So question is, anyone had this reaction to one of these bracelets or know anyone, or is it just me? that suggests the the bracelet is either too tight or too heavy or too loose and whatever you are doing with your hand is causing the bracelet to damage your skin if you were having an allergic reaction to the material its made of then i'd expect inflammation rather than bruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikes10 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 You probably have some form of metal allergy ( I no longer wear a wrist watch because I have an allergy to Nickel ) There's a chemical reaction between the metal and body sweat. Basically sweat tends to corrode/ dissolve the metal and is then absorbed by the skin. You are probably doing yourself more harm than good so throw the band away.

Put the bracelet back on about 3 hours ago, loosen it off much more this time, but still get the dull ache in wrist wearing it on. I now taken it off for good. Like you said probably just me, reacting negatively to copper / magnetic affect. Good job only a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
