aha.  i'll take that as rather strong evidence: no idea how i would
make it into a "proper" experiment (how do you generate placebo
weather effects? ;-)  (fortunately, i'm not paid to design
experiments, i just spend my time being an experimental animal for the
medics.)

come to think of it, perhaps this evening's state of my hands is
related to the ambient pressure.  or perhaps it's because i'm tired...

it doesn't fit with the naive assertion that excess iron was
"rusting", though.  i _am_ surprised...
