A recent thread brought up the matter of Edward Weston's disease, Parkinson's. I t made me wonder about the long-term effects of photo chemicals, and I can't hel p but wonder if Weston's illness wasn't brought on or worsened by Amidol, Pyro, and who knows what else. After all, he used his hands for the entire process, so his body must have absorbed large amounts of poison. I've read that if you leav e your hands in Pyro long enough, you can actually develop an odd taste sensatio n. Who knows what else it does?
