Elaine and folks,

    I don't think skin reactions to aluminum are common, but I have had
    it happen. The first time I noticed it there was a patch of
    dermatitis on the back of my hand that wouldn't go away. Took me
    awhile to make the mental connection, but one day while I was
    putting my daughter in her car seat I noticed the aluminum catch was
    rubbing on the exact spot where I had the rash. I've gotten similar
    reactions since, so I'm a bit more careful of aluminum than I used
    to be. 

Cheers and Happy New Year!
