One study has reported that intensive use of one of Apple tablets can cause allergic reactions. The journal Pediatrics has been in charge of publishing the figures derived from this work, which shows an increase in these cases in children who use one of these devices on a daily and continuous basis. The reason lies in the manufacturing materials of the metal housings, which contain nickel among its components.
One of the main advantages that is often highlighted from Apple products is their metallic design. The finishes that are achieved thanks to the manufacture with this type of material give a Premium appearance that is difficult to achieve with plastic. Reasons more than enough so that there are many voices that ask the competition, for example Samsung, to follow the example of those from Cupertino. However, it is known to all that some metals can be harmful to health, jewelry or glasses with some of the objects responsible for allergies that affect many people in the world. Mobile devices are no exception.
Co- other websites echo a study published in the journal Pediatrics that relates the increase in cases of nickel allergies with the use of iPads. Nickel? Yes, one of the main components that are used to manufacture the metal housings of Apple tablets, as with many other devices, it's nickel. This allergy is more common than it seems and affects users who use an iPad intensively on many occasions, without them being aware of it, so they attribute possible reactions to other factors that have nothing to do with it.
The study is based on an 11-year-old boy, who for a long time suffered from an allergy of unknown origin. Symptoms: a severe and ongoing skin irritation it did not improve with the use of various treatments. The cause: they ended up discovering that the little one used an iPad with a high concentration of nickel in its case for several hours a day, which caused these allergic reactions. The solution: I could use it without problems as long as protect it with a Smart Cover.
In recent years, nickel allergies in children have increased by up to 8%, iPads are just one example of the many devices that also have this component and possibly even more, so it is convenient to be vigilant, pay attention to the alarms of our body and visit a doctor in case of suspicion.
