Skin Redness
This is one of the earliest signs of an allergic reaction to laminated fabric. The affected area of the skin turns red, warm to touch, and may appear slightly swollen.
Itching
Itching is another common symptom of an allergic reaction to laminated fabric. The skin may become very itchy, tempting the person to scratch the area, which may exacerbate the symptoms.
Rash or Hives
Some people may develop a rash or hives upon coming into contact with laminated fabric. These bumps or blisters may be filled with fluid and can cause discomfort or pain.
Dry, Flaky Skin
Exposure to laminated fabric may cause the skin to become very dry, often leading to flaky patches. This can be accompanied by a feeling of tightness or discomfort.
Swelling
In some more severe cases, the skin area that has come into contact with laminated fabric may swell. This can involve just the superficial layers of the skin or extend deeper, depending on the severity of the reaction.
Breathing Difficulties
Breathing difficulties, such as shortness of breath, are also possible. This is a more serious symptom that indicates a severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis. This requires immediate medical attention.
