Yeah, old copper does get on your hands and smell a little. But it comes right off, unlike silicone, primer, and some other things.

Ya I totally get that. I think its a somewhat common thing. Not necessarily something I'd call a phobia but some sort of condition. As I think about it more, ny son often complains about wanting to wash his hands after handling any sort of metal objects, like coins, nails, screws etc.

It's possible to develop an allergy to metals. I have a strong allergy to nickel to the point I get really painful oozing sores if I wear anything with nickel in it for a full day (like belt buckles or metal glasses frames).

I can handle change and metal items like knives to use them, but not prolonged exposure.
