    I made it a few weeks ago and haven't taken it off, but keep breaking out on my neck just underneath it. I can't figure out what the deal is, either, because I wore these beads for over a year on a different string until it broke, so I just made a hemp choker instead. I also have been wearing two hemp anklets for this period of time as well and I have no reactions on my ankles. What the hell is making my neck break out and itch so much? I've been too stubborn to take it off, so I kept wearing it in hopes that my body would get used to it, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'd throw it in the washer with a load of clothes, because I don't have reactions to my laundry soap, but the choker has mood beads in it and the washer will ruin them. :(

    Try just soaking it in cold water for a while and keep an eye on the mood beads. A little salt in the water might help too but again keep an eye on the beads.

    I'll give the cold water a shot in a bit. But can one suddenly develop allergies to pewter? That's what the peace sign is made out of and it makes me wonder. It'd be very strange because like I said, I've worn this peace sign every day for almost 2 years.

    I just found out I'm mildly allergic to peanuts and wheat.

    I may be slightly allergic to wheat as well, because I always get horrible headaches when I eat wheat bread. But not white...it's strange.

    I'm waiting to speak to my GP about it.

    This could explain why I intermittently feel like shit all the time.

    Maybe you're allergic to being choked.
