Does this make sense in terms of the chemicals you were handling? I must admit, though, that if this were the case, it seems such an occurrence would be common knowledge by now. Anyway, just my two cents worth of speculation. And this is a good chance for me to tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your "lessons" on the LUG.

However, the past few days working in the darkroom with chemicals after many months of digi printing and computer screen, I developed severe headache which in all these many years never affected me at any time. Nor did I ever develop darkening of finger skin from chemicals. But much to my surprise I was taken aback by the headache factor having never experienced it before. The chemicals were mixed correctly, the room vented. So it leaves me with a question? Have any others experienced anything like this since spending more time in the "light-room with computer and printer" compared to "dark-room and chemicals?" ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
