I was doing some reading this morning and came across some info. There is a disease called Pink Disease which "authorities" feel has pretty much been eradicated due to withdrawing the use of mercury in teething rings. When doing a search on this disease, most info that comes up is how it affected infants and young children. One of the primary symptoms is "pink or very red" hands. Once teething ring companies quit using mercury in their products, the rate of Pink Disease dropped according to "authorities." I haven't looked further to find additional info for Pink Disease in adults.

Well.... I have pink/reddish hands. Doctors have commented on them (and so do lots of other people). No one could find an explanation for them. And the discoloration gets worse when I'm under fluorescent lighting -- which I recently learned contains mercury.

I'm just really curious to see if this weird symptom might go away at some point after my amalgams are removed and my body starts clearing mercury.

A side note, years ago when I was pregnant, I was not able to be in any room that had fluorescent lighting. I'd become nauseous, vomit, dizzy, disorientated. People thought I was crazy for blaming the lighting. But as soon as I left rooms with those lights, I was fine. It made being in the labor and delivery rooms with all that fluorescent lighting a challenge, I gotta tell you. lol
