When people are allergic to the metal nickel is it actually that or could it be other elements within the nickel metal?
Angelajfrew
Pure nickel metal does not contain any other elements, but in practice some mixture called "nickel" because that is its predominant constituent could cause allergic reaction to one of its other constituents.

Will magnet stick to 18kt gold?
Sometimes. It depends on what is in it. Unknown to many, the only real gold is the dull yellow soft stuff they keep at Fort Knox. All other forms of gold are alloys of gold silver coper and a few other metals. In the case of white gold, there are three metals used primarily in giving it the shinny white color; Nickel, Silver and a platinum group metal called "Palladium". Unless there is a Nickel content in the white gold in question, there will be no magnetic attraction, as the only four metals which are natural magnetic are Iron, Nickel, Cobalt and Gadolinium. One interesting characteristic of white gold with a Nickel content is that about 15% of people will have an allergic reaction to the Nickel when worn over an extended period. This makes Nickel the least likely of the three metals to be contained in white gold used for jewelry.

If someone is allergic to cat are they allergic to parakeets?
Not quite; unless the person has multiple allergies ; which is possible. But when the people are allergic to cats most of the time is not the cat hair. What makes somebody to be allergic to cats is actually the saliva that the cat use to clean themselves and ends on his hair. Which at the end the cat is the one that carries it. Well saying this parakeets are birds and flap their winds a lot ; but they don't have the elements of the saliva's cat. Actually birds have a very clean beaks and tongue that some can die from human mouth contact (kiss). Perhaps the person can be allergic to the feathers. But like I said is very likely to be allergic to both...
