    Stripper dilemna: the pole was the problem

    London, England, Jun. 21 (UPI) -- A British stripper had to quit her job because the pole she danced around gave her a rash.

    Donna Cleeve, who stripped as "Honey," developed rashes on her legs and body because her pole was chrome, which contains nickel, a substance she is allergic to, Britain's Sun reported Monday.

    "Because I kept on dancing around the pole it just got worse and worse," Cleeve, 20, told the newspaper. "It's hard to look sexy when your legs and body are inflamed. I tried to ignore it but in the end it wasn't worth the pain."

    After three months she figured out the pole was the problem and left her $1,800 per week job for a new position -- saleswoman earning about a third as much.

    "I hated giving up because there's great camaraderie," she said. "If I could find a way of dancing without the allergy I'd go back."

    Muriel Simmons, of health charity Allergy UK, said the only cure for Cleeve's allergy is total abstinence.

    work in a club with no pole or in a club with the ability to not have to go on stage...also, you don't HAVE to rub your body all over the pole

    Its funny. I too held on to the pole for dear life when I started dancing. That was the first thing anyone had ever told me in a strip club... "just hold on to the pole and you'll be fine." At the club I work at we have a very small stage with 2 poles (one on each end). There are usually 2 girls on stage at a time so both are "stationed" at either ends. We have no other choice but to make friends with the pole. If I am alone on stage I will sometimes go more towards the center of the stage and dance but I have worked my routine to include the pole during 80% of my set. Yes newbies will cling to it but some clubs its a must due to the lack of space you can be creative with.

    As for rashes. I usually wipe the sucker down before I get up there. No one cleans the poles and I think that a major gross-out factor. I got these little dots on my chest once that looked like chicken pox but didnt itch. They went away and I thought it may have come from the pole but I think it was just my skins reaction to a new lotion I was trying. I'm not allergic to anything so I still dont know what it was. Are all poles made of chrome?
    You think you know... but you have no idea!

    that is so going to be me...

    I've been dancing off and on lately because of a knee injury, but I'm sure if I start dancing on a more regular basis I would have an allergic reaction on my hands. I'm severly allergic to nickle, I have to wear titanium or plastic jewelry - NOTHING metal wise works besides titanium. (everything contains a small amount of nickle it seems) I can't wear jeans with out developing a rash on my stomach where the button is, also if I try to wear jewelry that isn't titanium with in an hour I will have red dots all over that are insanely itchy. (If I put a pony tail holder/rubber band around my wrist that has a metal clasp I'll get a rash where the metal was in contact with my skin)

    I used to wear this leather bracelet with little studs in it every half inch or so all the way around - I got a super attractive red itchy blotch where each one of those studs layed on my wrist.

    My future husband would be smart if he gets my ring from a gumball machine - at least I'd be able to wear it!


    The lats few times I've danced I stay near the pole because of my knee - it tends to give out every once and a while. Anyways newbie or not the pole is still my safety net!

    well, if it were me I would pay to upgrade the club's pole to brass. It's not that expensive. Much cheaper than taking a 2/3 cut in pay. That's just me though.

    Brass is an alloy of various metals, and nickel seems to be in virtually everything, so typically, yes.

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    Titanium,platinum(rhodium & palladium are part of this family)and pure 24K gold are the only nickel-free metals.

    Well if I was that allergic to nickel, maybe I would quit until I found a place that has a pole that I'm not allergic to. In my club, we have a steel pole that has an almost p.v.c. sheething around it. None of the metal is showing at all. I know of a few clubs that have this type of pole. I also know that a few clubs have the acrylic clear poles too. So maybe I would try to find a club like that first, then if I couldn't either deal with it, or quit.

    this is stupid, then don&#039;t go near the pole. The best poles I ever saw, were these plastic ones, it was some special kind of stuff I forget the name, it used to sorta bend with ya, it had the fake bubbles inside, so it wasn&#039;t totally see thru. Loved them.
