Belly ring

Wearing gold all over the body appears to be the kind of fad that appeals to a few politicians (names withheld) and very rich and spoilt brats. Not because they can’t suffer the harsh aftermath of dangerous metals but because what they have is pure.

Have you ever developed an ugly scratch after wearing jewellery? That itch or any other reaction could well be your body not responding well to the metals; this reactions can be fatal. Take the case of a Canadian man who is reported to have died after gold-plating his testicles to celebrate winning more than a half a million dollars jackpot.
