<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 4358911, member: 78719&quot;]Actually I am not, and did alright in medical school. There are indeed sebaceous glands irregularly spaced in the finger tips. So, no, I am not confused (and rather disappointed by your choice of words in this regard); they are NOT necessarily associated with hair follicles. Nomenclature varies as far as the term &quot;sudoriferous&quot;.</p><p>Bottom line, there are fatty secretions as well as the other components listed in the residua of fingerprints - and this was my point as it is the former that are acted on by bacteria that then produce acidic byproducts that oxidize coin surfaces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
