Dermatology Study At Major Medical University Confirms Safety of Simply Whispers Earrings For Nickel-Sensitive Patients Richard L. Dobson, M.D., Professor and Chairman of the Department of Dermatology at the Medical University of South Carolina PROTOCOL 1. Twenty women with proven nickel sensitivity were tested. 2. All test subjects wore four to six different pairs of Whispers earrings continuously for more than one month 3. None of the twenty individuals tested exhibited any signs of allergic sensitivity to the Whisper earrings. CONCLUSION Although several subjects complained of minimal itching for a short period of time, none experienced anything resembling an allergic reaction. Our study concludes that Simply Whispers earrings can be recommended as safe to women with nickel sensitivity and confirms the non-allergenicity of the product.
