If this boy was living in L.A. he'd be picked up in two seconds and made a model. Too bad...

I worked in a tannery. We had Chrome Drums and paddle wheels. We had chrome paste sprayed on the cow hides. But yet, you can get "Chrome Ich" which causes you to break out in sores. There is no cure. Once you get it, you cannot even wear leather shoes. Luckily for me, I never got it. We used tanning bark extract.
