A member asked:
Can you be allergic to something in clothing. i recently purchased a pair of work out shorts and a bathing suit. had a strange reaction.

Yes: Fabrics are often coated with colors, stabilizers or sizing during production and these may leach out to the skin during a sweaty workout. The waist bands may also have products that yo u could react to like latex. Washing these products before initial use can remove some offending products. If the issue persists, ditch the outfit.
