Magnetic Bracelet, bruising on wrist!

[information 10]

Three days ago I bought a magnetic bracelet. I now have a dull pain in the wrist wearing it on and bruising on my wrist.

 

I have now took the bracelet off. So question is, anyone had this reaction to one of these bracelets or know anyone, or is it just me?

Why are you wearing a magnetic bracelet?

Why are you wearing a magnetic bracelet?

 

To be more attractive.

The two answers above, well don't actually answer the question at all. ( Should I be surprised? )

that suggests the the bracelet is either too tight or too heavy or too loose and whatever you are doing with your hand is causing the bracelet to damage your skin

 

if you were having an allergic reaction to the material its made of then i'd expect inflammation rather than bruising

Just do a search on the internet, there is not much proof that they work but there are lots of reported problems with them

You probably have some form of metal allergy ( I no longer wear a wrist watch

because I have an allergy to Nickel )

 

There's a chemical reaction between the metal and body sweat. Basically sweat

tends to corrode/ dissolve the metal and is then absorbed by the skin.

 

You are probably doing yourself more harm than good so throw the band away.

Your probably correct. Put the bracelet back on about 3 hours ago, loosen it off much more this time, but still get the dull ache in wrist wearing it on. I now taken it off for good. Like you said probably just me, reacting negatively to copper / magnetic affect. Good job only a tenner.

Or repellent, of course.

There is no proof that they "work" or have any positive effects

Nah it worked on me, what more proof do you need?
