| The British Association of Dermatologists has released a warning that certain cell phones are causing skin rash because of a reaction to the nickel in their cell phones.

Cell phone users who are allergic to nickel may get a rash on their cheek, ear or fingers if they spend much time talking or text messaging on a cell phone containing nickel. Not every cell phone contains nickel. Researchers at Brown University tested 22 wireless communication devices earlier this year and found that 10 of them contained nickel. |
