I got up and gum ran to see me. He goes to his chair. His bro sits near us. I pet gum, gum bites me lol and leaves. Gum is quite feral and jelly and territorial lol 💜
Chemical burn due to unknown substance on versa 4 (band and watch) Fitbit has been playing dumb for 7+ months, making multiple attempts to buy back product and remove these photos. Doctor proven chemical and not allergic reaction.
listen, I don’t know what Dexcom changed with their G7 sensors / adhesives, but I’m having an allergic reaction to whatever it is. I never had a problem before but it’s terrible and having to wear it for 10 days just to get rash around the sensor is horrible 😩
Why am I breaking out in hives right where my Fitbit is supposed to sit? 😭😭😭😭😭 it’s my fifth allergic reaction/skin reaction in three days. Whenever I find what’s doing it, trust it will be dealt with. The last photo is from Fridays reaction 😭😭😭
As usual when I don't realise I'm stressed, my body tells me. Like this allergic reaction to my Fitbit, I've been wearing a Fitbit for about 6 years now. And in fact, I haven't had a breakout like this since before I moved to the Falklands over 10 years ago.
🚨 SMARTWATCH BANDS: LOADED WITH TOXIC “FOREVER CHEMICALS”
Notre Dame researchers found PFAS in 15 of 22 smartwatch bands tested—including brands like Apple, Fitbit, Google, and Nike.
Some bands had PFAS levels comparable to firefighting gear.
PFAS, linked to cancer and liver disease, can be absorbed through skin—especially when sweating.
One compound, PFHxA, appeared in 40% of the bands tested.
Some of the PFAS-laden bands cost $50 MORE.
Yep, you’re paying extra for poison.
Silicone bands are the safer option.
Maybe skip the “fluoroelastomer” label next time.
