Poor fellow thinks it's nickel.

Google doesn't seem to know about a polycarbonate allergy. Is there
such a thing?

Nickle is used to make some types of stainless steel... Pentax uses a
stainless steel chassis and lensmount.

Which has what to do with "Polycarbonate claims another victim"?

Some people to respond unfavourably to long term contact with heavy
metals - e.g. Stainless steel watch bands - but the necessary lengthy
contact is unlikely to occur with a camera and certainly wouldn't
occur if the camera is coated with rubber or plastic.
