During at work as a substitute teacher, I got skin allergies all over my body; on fingers, underarms, even on my "private" parts. It was so itchy and irritating! It get worse when I'm in humid area. It is also annoying because I have to looked pleasing in front of students, but I still looked sick and irritated. I oftenly go to rest room to scratch the itchy parts. I can't even stop scratching my back or my underarms while I'm in the teacher's table. Students might wondering what's wrong with me.
These really affects my performance.I hate that allergies bothers my at the time I had to work. Why don't they attack during vacation? Does allergies bothered you at work? You may share your stories.

I am a student so I have not that problem; but I have learned some things from my teachers about that. There was one teacher two years ago who also had allergies because of the chalk used to write. That teacher now just used a board to write on with pens or uses a projector to show things to her students!
Now I am in university, every teacher uses a marker to write.

About the chalk, that also happened to me. I used to work with Grade School pupils. Each classrooms uses blackboard and chalk. I have no choice but to use them.
