I have been using the guatambo because they are less expensive than other woods, but maybe I should, as you say switch woods. I actually did a bit of a search on allergies to palm today, but it seems that if I had such an allergy I would be experiencing digestive issues due to the fact that many foods, medications, etc. have palm oil hidden in them, often described as "vegetable oil". But, another culprit could be the finish on the bobbins, I suppose. You never really know how things have been treated. Devon
