The relatively low number of women getting adverse reactions make me think the problem is the metal in the IUD rather than the hormones.
Physicians can perform a skin test for copper or nickel allergies (based on the IUD's specs)
This might be wise for any woman considering getting one as well.
Copper allergies are rare enough that one could expect a handful of women having drastic side effects and almost all the others being fine thus IUDs being deemed "safe".
