New York Yankees player Alex Verdugo is allergic to his own tattoos and batting gloves and may start taking Dupixent shots, according to NJ Advance Media.
New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo is reportedly allergic to his own tattoos.
Verdugo, very noticeably, has sleeves of tattoos covering both of his arms. The work includes a healthy amount of imagery of roses that cover both of his forearms, and a large compass near his right elbow.
Verdugo is is apparently allergic to the chemicals cobalt and chromat, his doctor told NJ Advance Media. Those chemicals are in Verdugo’s tattoos as well as his batting gloves. Cobalt, which is found in most color dyes, is in Verdugo’s tattoos, while chromat, which is used for curing leather, is found in his personal batting gloves.
This combination has caused Verdugo problems in his hands since 2021.
“My hands hurt”, Verdugo told NJ Advance Media.
