It's not necessary to develop an allergy to money. Paper money collects
substantial amounts of bacteria, some of which is infectious and
dangerous. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dirty-money/

Technically every surface carries infectious bacteris. Every surface.
You can reduce the numbers by "washing", but you also need to maintain
your "bariers" lie skins, etc. It is a life long battle every living
organism faces.

Ah but you are talking about what is ON the money. My reference
describes allergies to the actual material that the money is made
from. The money itself, as it were.

Most wood allergies are caused by inhaling sawdust, which can be a
problem. Inhaling natural cotton fibers causes "brown lung", which used
to be a big problem in the US back when we did textile manufacturing.
Likely still is in those countries now doing it.


I worked at a lad at an asbestos mine. I was always amazed at the number of people who would not wear their protective mask unless threatened by management to do so. I remember a safety meeting where we were told that ANY dust under 2 microns in size, no matter what kind of dust, could be damaging to the lungs since that size dust would not be trapped by the tiny hairs in the body. I often wonder how many of those guys who wouldn't wear their masks developed asbestosis.

I once made an inspection tour of a quarry in Indonesia and noted that
no one was wearing a face mask. When I interviewed the Quarry Manager
I mentioned it and he said that the workers felt that wearing a mask
made them look like a dog which is considered an unclean animal by
some Moslems.

Whereas not wearing a mask brought them closer to God?

Well yes, but from what I gathered they might come from families that
had worked in the quarry, at least the quarry was on an island so the
available pool of laborers must have been small, so they might not
have realized that working at the quarry without a mask was the reason
that their uncle died at the age of 45.

But then, there is evidence that coal was mined in England prior to
the arrival of the Romans, nearly 2,000 ago, so "Black Lung" must
have a long tradition :-)

Cocaine on paper money? That explains why I get a temporary high
every time I spend paper money. It might also explain why I have an
incurable urge to spend more paper money. Predictably, I don't get
the same high when using credit or debit cards.

Nanogram to milligram amounts? Perhaps the cheapest "high" in
California :-)
