Complementary and alternative remedies: an additional source of potential systemic nickel exposure.

Systemic contact dermatitis from nickel has been reported from a number of sources including medical devices and following experimental oral exposure. OBJECTIVE: To identify other potential sources of systemic nickel exposure. METHODS: The internet and published medical literature were searched for complementary and alternative remedies which contain nickel. RESULTS: We identified and evaluated sources of nickel exposure in 4 homeopathic preparations, which are advertised to treat common skin diseases, as well as in a number of other homeopathic remedies, several herbal products and multivitamin mineral complexes. CONCLUSION: Complementary and alternative remedies are an additional source of systemic nickel exposure and at highest doses the potential risk for systemic contact dermatitis in nickel allergic patients should be considered.
