    Please don't make a habit of putting you hands in the ultrasonic!
    Back in the 1930s when ultrasonic cleaners where being developed the
    manufacturers thought what a great idea for a bathtub. Well,
    after hundreds where sold and used, a high percentage of those who
    used them developed leukemia and bone marrow cancers. It seems the
    ultrasonic waves will travel through your skin to the bone marrow,
    which disrupts the marrow's natural function triggering cancer. The
    bathtubs where taken off the market. Ultrasonic cleaners are still
    safe to use as long as you don't put any part of your body (with
    bones) into them.
