Hello,

    I have been in jeweler's school since Oct 3rd 05, part-time. I
    developed a severe respiratory infrection on Thanksgiving, and a
    renewal of asthma that has not bothered me in years. I am allergic
    to nickle. I was moved off of nickle silver the first week due to a
    rash under my watch. They use "merlin's gold" for the work that is a
    little further along. I am still on sterling. However, I can't shake
    the respiratory infection completly. Is there nickle in "merlin's
    gold"? Could it be in the air. Is there nickle in hard silver
    solder? How can I find out? 

Sincerely,
Katheryne Klamp
