I know several people have told me in the last few weeks that they are allergic to wool. I just stumbled across this article discussing the science behind why people really aren't allegic to wool.
They might be allergic to the chemicals used to process and clean the wool, they might be sensitive to large "scales" causing an itchy feeling, if the wool contains a lot of vegetable matter which was not processed out, the stalks of the plants might cause an itchy feeling.
But they are probably NOT allergic to wool!

Wool might not be the true allergen, but bottom line is I still can’t wear wool.
