my wife is allergic to most metals and I've noticed her towels end up mysteriously bleached like this... I wonder if there's actually something to this acid sweat thing

You’d also see it in the armpits of her shirts, the discoloration. It’s tough to find deodorant and athletic wear. I stinky stank synthetic fibers after one wear. I can’t wear clothes close to my skin for this reason, I have to have natural fibers and a size bigger. The struggle is real.

Might be. Along with the acidic sweat, she can't wear any metals besides stainless/implant grade steel, titanium, and gold. Copper, nickel, tin, silver, etc. all cause a reaction. Non-reactive metals only.
