RE: black fingernails, et al, was Re: Paper - baby oil Digi Negs
DEAR JUDY ET ALIA, This topic has been discussed on the list a few years ago. The vast majority of developing agents are phenol (benzene ring) based and phenols are known to cause many health problems, including building up in the liver. One result is sudden onset of allergies. There are many others. I also was taught to put my hands into the developer back in the late 60s and early 70s. Not long after I had many health problems and spent years cleaning my system by taking N-Acetyl Cystine (sp?) on alternate days with Barley Grass. This is the holistic way. The "medical" way is to have a knowledgeable doctor chelate your system using a very small dose of EDTA intravenously. This is more drastic but necessary in some cases. CHEERS!

As I recall (OK, I don't really recall, but I SUSPECT !!) both Ansel and Minor died young-ish, even for that time. And I definitely do recall when I went to my first photography workshops in the 1980s, being told that photographers had a 40% higher cancer rate than the population at large. I don't know where that figure came from, but it was given as fact, and never contradicted.
