Itchy Skin
A common symptom of an allergy to Mercerized Fabrics is itchy skin. This is often a result of the body's immune system reacting to the fabric, causing the skin to become inflamed and itchy.
Hives
Individuals may also develop hives, which are red, itchy, and raised areas of the skin. These can appear anywhere on the body and often become more severe when scratched.
Redness and Swelling
Marshy redness and swelling of the skin where it has come into contact with the fabric is another common symptom. This is a clear indication of a negative skin reaction.
Eczema Flare-Ups
Those with pre-existing eczema conditions may experience a flare-up after exposure to Mercerized Fabrics, with increased itchiness, redness and patchy skin.
Respiratory Issues
Some individuals might encounter respiratory symptoms like sneezing, coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath if the allergic reaction is severe.
Anaphylaxis
Although rare, the most serious allergy symptom can be anaphylaxis. This is a serious allergic reaction that needs immediate medical attention. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing, hives or swelling, nausea, fast heartbeat, fainting, and dizziness.
