Have you ever heard of someone that is allergic to their Retzuos / Tefillin straps?

I had a client who recently got new Retzuos while in Israel for the Yom Tov, and ever since he got new Retzuos he developed an allergic reaction to them consisting of blisters and puss infection on his arm.

Most Retuzos today use chrome in the process of making them, and there are unfortunately a select few that are allergic to the chrome.

Are you or do you know someone who is having a reaction to their Retzuos?

These Tefillin were left outside overnight and got rained on. The letters bled into each other. and cause these Tefillin to become not Kosher.

Lesson:
