health question about writing on your hand [Edited title]

Factual Questions
1

A few years ago i remember reading an article somewhere about how writing jot notes (in pen) down on your hand and arm could poison you and result in death or atleast a trip to the hospital. since i write on my hand more often than i used to i was wondering if writing on my hand could be a bad idea or if the whole thing is just non-sense.

cheers,
john

Ah, a Christmas title.

One of my favorite alma mater topics in my subject area:

“In the 1950’s, Tulane psychiatrist Robert G. Heath and coworkers engaged in studies of the human brain that were sponsored by U.S. government agencies and included black prisoners among its experimental subjects. What follows are two views of those studies from very different perspectives.”

I like heath bars.

Standard pen inks are non-toxic and won’t poison someone who chronically writes on themself. http://www.lifespan.org/adam/healthillustratedencyclopedia/1/002791.html

Isn’t heath a type of heather?

Darn, I thought it was going to be about Heath Ledger – just saw A Knight’s Tale again a couple of weeks ago, hard to imagine he’s the same guy as the one who was in Brokeback Mountain.

What a bunch of jerks. I thought there was supposed to be a rule against that.

The weird thing is, when I opened the forum it was right undernealth my “wound” question, so I did read it as “health” even without the L.

MrSquishy, as you should know, there is a rule against insulting other posters. There is no rule against making jokes based on a misspelling.

marochko, since you are new I am not issuing a formal warning here. However, you should be aware that personal insults are not permitted in this forum. If you post here, you should do so with patience and a sense of humor. If you have a problem with the responses of other posters, the best course is to e-mail a moderator. This is also the way to get your thread title fixed.

At the risk of making most of the posts in this thread meaningless, I am going to edit the thread title.

There’s no need to appologize.
