Went to the doc today and they said I have pinkeye...I think too much coin roll hunting?

I have glasses and all, I usually bend over and take them off to inspect the coins. HOWEVER, I do not use any sort of gloves, and the doc suggested I do. My hands are always black; like I dipped my hands in grease.

Aw well,

Coin roll hunting can cause eye strain, but pink eye or conjunctivitis would more likely be caused by touching your eye with your fingers after coin roll hunting and before washing them thoroughly.

 

Did someone fart on your pillow?

 

Somehow I knew you would be on this thread SV.

 

Wash your hands after picking your nose. Always.

 

You are allergic to coins. Got to give up the hobby.

 

Seriously, washing your hands and keeping your fingers away from your eyes are probably two of the most important things one can do to prevent the spread of disease.........

 

true, you never know where them coins have been....we just went camping with my brother's family over the fourth and his three year old son is just learning that one can pee outside if one so chooses.....he then spotted a nickel on the ground at our campsite and decided to "mark" it in this unique way.......someone is probably going to pick said nickel up and I hope to god they wash their hands after they do......you just never know.

 

What year was it? I'll hazard a chance at it, though I'm going in with full hazmat body armor.........

 

...lol.....i usually am the same way but it was a current one...and in rough condition at that......and my girlfriend was there and she would give me that look that says..."really?....its just a nickel ya idiot"......the same look she gives me as I hunt through boxes of dimes for fun while I watch football.....some people just dont get it.

 

I always wash my hands after and before, and I don't touch my eyes. Maybe I got it from something else. But I do notice my hands STINK when I'm done thoroughly washing them, too.

 

Dip your fingers in bleach after CRH. That should kill off anything from the coins




****Do not dip your fingers in bleach. Ever.****

 

I still suck my thumb so, I can't do that. sorry.

LOL JK

 

Shoot. Well, it was worth a shot! LOL

 

Dont worry, i have two hobbies people think are weird. CRHing and Car Spotting.

*for those who dont know, car spotting is when you stand or sit next to a bussy street for hours each day just waiting for a rare, classic, or exotic car to drive by so you could take a few photos. And if possible, you then chase it untill it parks so you could take more and meet the owner. I generally do this for 1 to 15 hours per day depending on my schedule and luck/weather.

 

i always wash my hands after handling coins. especially large amounts of change. i worked at a bank for years and seeing how coins came in you would be amazed. you never know what kinda funk you are going to get from the coins. sometimes i even wear gloves

 

Sinks are in bathrooms for a reason...
