Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I received one comm that said the copper "fix" was an urban legend. The thing is, copper has been known along with sulphur to help the skin. I know of several people who wear copper bracelets constantly and swear by them. Any other first hand stories out there?????? I don't always trust Snopes.

Years ago I got a bad burn from a very hot lead ingot.. I had left the room and came backand touched the wrong end of it... burning my hand badly. The pain was coniderable. I picked up a copper pipe and the pain left. I put it down and the pain came back. So I spent the day working holding a small copper pipe.. Next day no burn...wierd!
