    Have any of you had any physical reactions to the Dr. Fosters and Smith/Live Aquaria t-shirt you got at MACNA? The one with the harlequin tusk on the back. Twice I've had an allergic reaction while wearing it. My face got bright red and I had a burning sensation. I am pretty sensitive to chemicals, but I've never had it happen with a t-shirt before. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

    Nope. Have you washed it in warm or hot water? If yes, wash it inside out in warm/hot water. (Hot will cause it to shrink. I'm assuming that you haven't changed your laundry detergent and softner) If you've done that and it still happens, let it soak for a couple days in OXYCLEAN...then rinse really well. If that doesn't do it, don't wear it.

    Might not be the shirt after all. I had the same thing happen today and I didn't wear that shirt. Sorry for the false alarm.

    I have that reaction to any shirt I buy if I don't wash it first. The DRFS shirts I had to wash about 2 or 3 times before they stopped bugging me. This sucked because I got 6 of them, so I'd wear one, switch to the next, and so on.... Also had to stretch the collars way out 'cause they were like turtlenecks. Maybe I just have a big neck, I dunno.
