Nickel

Nickel is a heavy metal that can be a toxin. While nickel is a naturally occurring element, it can be toxic in high amounts. Exposure to high levels of nickel can lead to a variety of health problems, including skin rashes, respiratory problems, and gastrointestinal issues. Nickel is a common cause of contact dermatitis, a skin condition that causes redness, itching, and blistering. People who work in industries that involve frequent exposure to nickel, such as metalworking, may be at higher risk of developing nickel-related health problems.
