    I literally can’t wear it. Along with other artificial fibers (viscose and polyester especially) they cause me to come out in hives where it touches my skin. Cotton and soft wools are pretty much the only thing what I can wear.

      Thank you! I tried wearing a new pair of polyester socks today and within an hour it felt like I was wearing socks made of pink fibreglass insulation!
