If so what does it do to you?

This September is the first time I’ve worn a merino shirt and I’m starting to wonder if I’m allergic to it. I thought I was getting bug bites and it does look like it but this is only happening on my arms and torso nowhere else. Ive worn merino socks for years with no trouble though. It’s kuiu merino if that matters. I’ve never been allergic to anything that I know of so this is new to me.

Merino makes me itch bad. I'm fine with that as I like my synthetic baselayers better. Synthetic dries much faster. The few times I wore Merino I was really itchy and it seems like my baselayers were damp and took a long time to dry.

Others swear by it.

Wool makes my skin crawl. If I wore it for a weekend I’d probably look like a crack head id scratch myself until I was bleeding.

That being said first Lite aerowool is so soft it doesn’t make me itch at all.
