Sony Respond to the "PlayStation Palm" Issue
PlayStation palmar hidradenitis. Such a cruel disease. In case you missed it a 12-year-old girl who arrived at Geneva University Hospital in Switzerland with sores on her hands was diagnosed with her PS3 being the culprit. Apparently gaming is the cause behind the 'skin disorder', I use the term loosely as excessively squeezing something insanely tight to the point that it causes sores to form is hardly a 'skin disorder'.
Sony have responded, and like us as well as the rest of the world they have never heard of such a thing happening. "We would not wish to belittle this research and we will study the findings with interest, but this is the first time we have ever heard of a complaint of this nature."
"With any leisure pursuit there are possible consequences of not following common sense, health advice and guidelines, as can be found within our instruction manuals."
It's still kind of weird that this girl managed to actually get sores on her hand from a PlayStation controller. The manuals these days may be full of safety information but I guess they don't say anything about not rubbing your hand against the controller for hours on end.
