ABSTRACT:
A composition and method for testing and evaluating a person's sensitivity to metals, such as mercury and nickel includes an inorganic salt of that metal carried by a mixture of propylene glycol and deionized water. In the case of mercury, a base solution having 5% by weight of mercury chloride in deionized water is mixed with propylene glycol so that the resulting composition has between 0.1% and 2.5% by volume of the base solution. For nickel, between 4% and 7% by weight of nickel sulfate is mixed with a 50-50 mixture of propylene glycol and deionized water. The method includes the steps of measuring first values of the person's vital signs, applying the mercury or nickel composition to the skin by way of a bandage, measuring second values of the vital signs after a lapse of time, and comparing the first and second values.
