< A copier tech once told me that the toner could be absorbed into < the body through the skin (!?) afterwhich it would collect in the kidneys < and cause "permanent" damage (e.g. clog them up). Less exotically: I get dermatitis on my fingers from handling hot output from photocopiers and, to a lesser extent, from laser printers. I think this is a fairly common problem. Does anyone know if barrier creams can prevent this? If so, what kind (generic description rather than brand name, please)? I don't want to use rubber gloves unless there's really no alternative and I'm getting bored with having my fingers covered with tape and betamethasone. -- Jack Campin * Computing Science Department, Glasgow University, 17 Lilybank Gardens, Glasgow G12 8QQ, SCOTLAND. 041 339 8855 x6045 wk 041 556 1878 ho INTERNET: jack%cs.glasgow.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk USENET: jack@glasgow.uucp JANET: jack@uk.ac.glasgow.cs PLINGnet: ...mcvax!ukc!cs.glasgow.ac.uk!jack
