Play Stations and Lumps

Playing with computers are fun, and also with play stations.
but do you know that holding the grip too tightly on the console and furiously pushing the buttons can cause a skin disorder marked by painful lumps on the palm. This was released by Swiss scientists.

This is called "Play Station palmar hidradentitis", the skin disorder can cause painful lesions on the palms similar to patches found in the soles of the children's feet after taking part in heavy physical activity.

"The tight and continuous grasping of the hand- grips together with repeated pushing of the buttons produce minor but continuous trauma to the palm surfaces."

Sony Corporation which had sold hundreds of millions of consoles since 1995 has this to say,
"As 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."

Sony Corporation do not wish to belittle this research and they will study this further with interest. This is the first time they have heard of a complaint of this nature.

"Excessive gaming is already seen as a public health issue, sparking addictive behavior that can lead to a range of psychological problems," the Swiss researchers said.
