Weeping Skin Rash from Electrode Pad Adhesive Triggered by Chlorine not from Infection

  • 12 years ago
Although it looks like a skin infection, these rapidly growing rashes were caused by toxic chemicals in electrode pad adhesive. The weeping skin was triggered by tap water with chlorine. The yellow crusting (crust) is what stays after the weeping skin dries out. Filtered water did not cause the skin to weep. The rapidly-growing rash may be mis-diagnosed as a skin infection. Rob Matthies and the Vancouver Gadgeteers are working on a non-toxic adhesive alternative for their own use.
