<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 159399, member: 4367&quot;]I don&#039;t know if this topic has been addressed before, but here goes.&nbsp; Has anyone ever encountered a mysterious illness or rash after handling uncleaned ancients?&nbsp; Recently I had a pretty bad rash which took over two weeks to clear up.&nbsp; This (red/itchy/prickly heat) rash was on the back of my hands and the inside of my lower forearms.&nbsp; It started soon after handling and cleaning a recent lot of ancients I have.&nbsp; I mean just a few minutes after applying the brash brush my hands began to get red and start to itch... After a couple of days of misery I went to a dermatologist and he was bewildered.&nbsp; He prescribed a hydrocortisone cream which had little effect. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I recently retired from the military and had all sorts of immunizations against everything from Anthrax, Yellow Fever, to Malaria and now thinking outloud I&#039;m glad I had those shots.&nbsp; The coins came from Jordan and were all very sandy and gritty.&nbsp; I wonder if a prior owner had <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> added an unpleasant surprise for those who may mess with his or her secret stash...&nbsp; I&#039;ve been cleaning ancients for about two years and this is the first time this has ever happened. </p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care </p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
