I tried to change my brakes for the first time the other day, and after having the brake dust on my hands and arms for a while, I began to break out in hives on my arms. What could I possibly be having an allergic reaction to?

Ever hear of that stuff brakes are made of? It causes cancer.. Asbestos is a dangerous substance.. wash it ALL off with LOTS of warm soapy water.. It won't kill you straight off or give you cancer the very first time you touch it, but it's still nasty shit either way. i wouldn't go sipping on brake dust tea or anything stupid like that. ;)

- Thanks.. Wash the clothes you were wearing good too and keep them separate from your kids clothing if you have kids. In fact keep your kids away from brakes, your clothing or anything to do with brake dust. Don't even let them play around tires, etc..

Could it be "brake dust"!
Comments
- Well done genius! Because I couldn't have possibly been asking a more specific question (that shouldn't have taken THAT much deduction to figure out) like what ingredients, ie. Brass, Kevlar, Steel wool, etc. found in brake dust might be a common allergen. Sorry for assuming that the people who frequent this site, ie. you, could have figured that out without me having to spell it out.
  
  Ass.

- And just to further prove that you're an incompetent moron, the punctuation mark goes before the quotation mark, not after.
  I'm just still frustrated that a jackass like you feels like they can answer questions on a legitimately informative site.
  
  You're still an ass.
