Twenty years is a long-time to inhale any kind of fumes, and while there are those on this list who say that most of the chemicals used in the B&W darkroom are "harmless," there were an awful lot of people who used to believe that using lead paint was harmless, that dry cleaning chemicals were harmless, that mercury in thermometers was great fun to play with when a thermometer broke, etc. etc. etc. As I believe Joe suggested, stay out of the darkroom for a good period of time, and see what happens to those symptoms. And do NOT just figure it's 'age.' I developed a tremor in my hands that a neurologist told me was just a result of aging, and I was positive was being caused by a medication I took regularly. Well, I stopped taking the medication - and my hands stopped shaking...even though I've continued to get older. ;-) B. D. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
