I have heard of several people who have allergic reactions to cane
reeds, and for them, synthetic reeds are a godsend. It is most unusual
to have such a reaction to plastic,

It could be a matter of size, not allergic reaction. I just compared
my V12 and Legere of the same strength, and the Legere is slightly
wider. Thus Nancy's statement that "I have the same problem with the
nose pieces on my glasses" could be quite accurate. It could be long
term mechanical abrasion, unique to Nancy's situation, rather than
biochemistry.
