Gamers beware: Game consoles 'cause skin sores'

A new skin disorder caused by use of games consoles has been identified by skin specialists

"If you're worried about soreness on your hands when playing a games console,
 it might be sensible to give your hands a break from time to time, and don't play excessively
 if your hands are prone to sweating."

The doctors suspect that the problem was caused by tight and continuous grasping of the
console's hand-grips, and repeated pushing of the buttons, alongside sweating caused by
the tension of the game.

How many of you sweat while playing Aces high?  Guess we don't have to worry about it since it's not a console game... :)


 I wonder how long it will take before someone sues the manufacture for not putting a warning out?
