Metal Allergy Testing
I have confirmed allergies (patch allergy testing on placed on the skin by an Asthma & Immunology Dr.) to nickel & 3 others less well known. I did NOT react at all to Titanium or Titanium Oxide or any polymers/plastic combos. If I'm planning to go to Germany for the M6 lumbar ADR, should I have further allergy testing like the blood tests that are mentioned above or is the patch allergy test enough?
Thanks!
