Whee. If you don't already know, I've got a severe sensitivity to silver. Specifically, I can't touch it without knowing it... painfully. (My usual description is 'it burns without leaving a mark on my skin'.) All well and good -- I've had this sensitivity for more than 5 years now.

Lately, one of my friends (Phyxis) has been thinking about this particular problem... and is asking me questions about the various metals I've come in contact with that cause pain. I think he's just as confused as I am about it. Quite entertaining -- I gave up trying to figure it out several years ago, and just accepted it.

There are those who suggest that being unable to touch silver is a sign of being a werewolf. All I have to say is, "God, I -wish-."
