sigh, i'm a victim of wood toxicity 
my body's biggest weakness is skin that's sensitive to various minerals/oils. it can really suck. so, day 3 of having my tapers in has been extremely shitty. my ears went from infected (slight puss) to swollen and gross. i did a little reading and it turned out i chose like the worst possible wood to use; cocobolo is known to cause patch dermatitis and/or a poison ivy type reaction (i'm experiencing the latter).
wah wah. i put my 2g tapers back in and i guess i'll find some other organic 0g. i don't trust metals, any nickel will cause me extreme pain; sigh. lame skin.
