I thought it was just me!!! (Reply to this comment)

I have this same problem! We've always used liquid Tide with bleach but when this new one came out I wanted to try it. WORST mistake of my life. For two weeks I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Yes the itching was worst at night. I took Benadryl morning, noon and night. Everything itched!! I had to give it away and we then purchased Tide sensitive and re-washed everything.

Allergic reaction to Tide with a Touch of Downy (Reply to this comment)
by pjacmail
I had a bad allergic reaction to Tide with a Touch of Downy, even though I have no problem with separate Tide and liquid Downy. The odd thing about this reaction is that it consists of itchy, red papules or bumps that look like insect bites. They may occur in pairs or clusters, and particularly occur behind the elbows and knees. Most cases of contact dermatitis cause a more confluent rash, not sporadic papules like this. Thus, the lesion looks like insect bites or even shingles rather than an allergic reaction. Dermatologists may likely diagnose these lesions as mite bites (scabies) or “bed bugs” and may treat accordingly. The lesions take a few weeks to go away, and I have some residual scarring on my arms, legs, and face. If you have such a reaction to Tide with a Touch of Downy, it is important to report it to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.

thanks so much for the warning. I'm allergic to so many things and wish I'd been warned about them before trying them.
Thanks,

Good job (Reply to this comment)

I've used this product with no ill effects. My roommate, however, broke out in a bad rash wherever her clothes touched....ow!
The only benefit I see is that my roommate won't use my laundry detergent. Otherwise, using downey by itself isn't so inconvenient.
