Most people, obviously Americans even more so than others, seem to forget that we´re all going to die sooner or later anyway!

Without disagreeing that California's cancer risk labelling laws might be a touch OTT, there is known to be a link between nickel and some forms of cancer.

Although it seems it's far riskier to inhale particles of nickel in enviroments where metal is being cut, ground etc than it is to play guitars with AlNiCo pickups.

Fun fact: Eddie Van Halen reckoned his throat cancer was caused by putting metal picks in his mouth. 

And Michael Douglas thought his was from going down on Catherine Zeta Jones.

Turns out he only played a doctor in a film and wasn't actually qualified.

Yeah, but they wanna know who to blame.
And who to sue.

What's going to get you first - Coronavirus or Nickel???

I'm bored with Coronavirus now, so I'm plumping for Nickel poisoning for my death certificate.
