"Allergy" is a way of looking at our bodies reactions to specific things, and it leaves a certain amount of options. Another way of describing the same syptoms is "more reactive to" or "less reactive to" the same specific things.
This language that is far more accurate in regards to what is happening in our bodies, in my opinion, is used by people who are familiar with NAET (Nambudrapods Allergy Ellimination Technique.)
If you want to be rid of this and other "reactive" issues that come up in life find out how NAET works and what it can do for you. You can goggle their main site with explanations and there is a book, Say Goodby To Illness.

I'm getting swollen puffy hands when I swipe fresh sawdust off an oak cut, or when I cut a water oak and it waters my hands. I suppose I may have gas on my saw handle or something else, but I think it's the oak. I haven't been wearing gloves for the last year. My hands go back to normal after a few days.

I get a rash like that from black rubber... Car tires, bike inter tubes, rubber gaskets on the bottom of car/truck door windows... Worse in the summer with heat and sweat.

Are you trying to tell us about your leather underwear, or that you're wearing a saddle, au natural?

I usually wear my saddle outside my clothes. haha.
Do you think its soaking through your clothes? Seems like a heat/ sweat type of rash scenario.
Any chance of something like poison ivy/ oak getting contaminated in your gear, and keeping on re-contaminating your skin?

I've also switched shirts so i'm thinking its a combination of the saddle being heavily used and different shirt material.

No problems last summer or the summer before. Same saddle, different shirts and no problem in the winter.

Gold bond?
Urishol oil that is the toxin from Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac. You can get it on your gear and cause future reactions. If the oil isn't removed it will stay on certain materials for several weeks at a time. Just my opinion and figured it was worth a shot.

the latest issue of TCIA magazine has a good article about poisonous plants. I bought some Zanfel for a recent outbreak of poison ivy and it does work! Maybe with the sawdust reaction the best defense is PPE? gloves, long sleeve shirt, etc. It would be interesting to hear what an allergist would say.
