Speaking of not putting one's hands into chemicals, I have
recently
spoken to a commercial lab owner in Montreal who developed
some kind of
super sensitivity to certain volatiles in the environment,
including
perfumes and other cosmetics. Apparently this is caused by
dermal
exposure to the compounds in the B&W fixer, which I assume
it to mean
thiosulphate. The initial symptoms are tightness in the
joints of the
hands. Does anyone know any details of this phenomenon? It
is supposed
to be reasonably well documented but not widely known. I
understand
that the sensitivity is quite severe.
