Is it possible to be sensitive to cashmere?

[Spidergirl8]

I have a couple of cashmere cardigans and a cashmere poncho. I feel a bit weezy when I wear them and sometimes my excema plays up. Does anyone get this??

I would imagine so.
DD is allergic to wool - gave her breathing problems and excema along with other triggers.
Ironically I had always bought her wool especially cashmere as I though it was better for her excema .
Her excema has gone now after excluding all the triggers.

I suppose you can be! :

..and interestingly found this:

Cashmere, wool or angora can cause contact dermatitis, a flare up of existing eczema or just make an allergic person itchy. Stay away from getting that luxurious set of cashmere socks or the pretty angora scarf, it may never even come out of the box. - See more at: www.healthcentral.com/allergy/c/3900/47884/8-gift-don-holidays/#sthash.Q0eHxvRe.dpuf

Thanks pixie- explains a lot! Now what to do with my cashmere, some was ££ so don't want to just store it away. Maybe I'll try Ebay.....
