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.
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.
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.
Those with pre-existing eczema conditions may experience a flare-up after exposure to Mercerized Fabrics, with increased itchiness, redness and patchy skin.
Some individuals might encounter respiratory symptoms like sneezing, coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath if the allergic reaction is severe.
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.

If you're aware that you're allergic to mercerized fabrics, the simplest way to avoid it is not to buy it at all. Always check the label on clothing or fabric items and opt for those without mercerized materials.
Manufactured mercerized fabrics might still possess residual chemicals that can trigger allergies. Therefore, it is suggested to pre-wash all new clothing before use to remove any possible allergens. Natural, unscented detergent is ideal for those with sensitive skin.
If contact with mercerized fabrics is inevitable, try to lessen the contact with your skin by wearing a protective layer underneath. Wearing an undergarment made from a safe material like cotton can help protect your skin.
If you’re noticing allergic reactions and you suspect that it may be due to mercerized fabrics, consult a medical professional. They can give you more detailed advice tailored to your symptoms and may also recommend skin tests to determine the exact allergen.
