Playstation Causes Skin Sores. This is News?

The internet is buzzing with articles about playstation consoles causing skin sores.  Seems they've even given it a name: 'PlayStation palmar hidradenitis'


Here's what the doctors decided (quoted from the article):

The doctors suspect that the problem was caused by tight and continuous grasping of the console's hand-grips, and repeated pushing of the buttons, alongside sweating caused by the tension of the game.

Is this really news?  We need a doctor to tell us that keeping a death-grip on a playstation controller could cause sores? 

I suppose next they are going to tell us that jumping out of a ten-story building might cause a sudden case of death.   Is there a name for that?

Maybe we already are mentally ill and no one has the courage to tell us :)

You are right. This really is a case of: Duh!

I wonder what they'll come up with next!

It seems like everything nowadays is a 'syndrome'.

Take me for example, I suffer from 'not knowing whether I'm doing a good job as a mom-syndrome'. My prognosis is not good.
