Have anyone ever heard about money allergy? Just wondering. There are allergies to everything. Flies, dust, peanuts...spouses... Ever heard of money one?

Yes I have actually heard of it. At the GC I started to get a cut that wouldn't heal. It was because as soon as it started to heal I would break it open again. But the first question a coworker asked was am I allergic to paper money. She said there are a few people who work there that are. There is a woman who is a cashier at the new store I am at that wears latex gloves all day. It could be that she finds it easier than sanitizing her hands 48 times a day or it may be because she is allergic.

I do appreciate your input though...seriously.

That's Ms. or Mrs. Literal, you male dominated, society stooge.
I can see it now. Metaphysical or Metaphorical allergies.
Worker A is talking to worker B. "Man, they sure pay us peanuts here'. B starts looking green around the edges, just not quite right. Worker A askes, Whatsa matter B, you don't think we are nuts to work here for this pay? B: 'Stop pushing it Dude. Have some compassion. I have a metaphorical allergy to peanuts being mentioned in conversation... I'm feeling light headed .... my throat feels tight...

Loony? Allergic to cold hard cash? Not a chance! Okay. So I thought you were serious with your question too. I got infantigo/impetigo after handling money, once. (wasn't an allergic reaction) Not what you meant. I know.

Does that mean that if you don't make/have money you enter a state of allergy? Or is it that you developed a condition due to which you have to compulsively and constantly make money? It is quite confusing!
Back to reality, I've read a while back that there was a Belgian that was allergic to counterfeit money regardless of who's currency. As a result, the Belgian government hired said individual to detect counterfeit bills. His senses were so finely tuned that sometimes he would detect these counterfeit bills even after the electronic systems would say a certain batch of cash was real. A second pass and closer look would confirm that the man was right and the machines needed to " pay attention!" I find that very ironic!

But imagine you get the money and you are getting hives or starting to sneeze and you just have to turn it down. Giving away, throw it in the trash or mailed to a charity...
Just to not to be near it.
