Hi I have recently be diagnosed as being extremely allergic to neoprene or rather the diethylthiourea contained within. I think your blog is wonderful. Are the inov-8 and the newtons without this substance? I was extremely depressed as i thought i would never find running shoes I can wear again but you have given me hope!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Switch to Hoka One One or Teva (made by Deckers corporation) and you will be safe again!
DeleteThanks for this!!!...glad to benefit from your research!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your blog! I just got diagnosed with a Thiruam allergy as well. Do you react to everything on the list or mainly shoes?
ReplyDeleteI have not reacted to my shoes yet, but I think I recently developed the allergy to Thiruam because of exposure to PPD. Not sure yet.
Thanks so much!
Also, I think it would be worth telling your readers that getting a black henna tattoo can sensitize them to Thiuram. I've had no history of Allergy, and responded positive to a patch test after getting the tattoo. Some of the information you linked to documented this relationship between the PPD in black henna and a Thiruam allergy.
