    I agree. Years ago my husband worked at a company where his hands
    were in the ultrasonic every day, for a good amount of time. He
    always came home complaining of his hands hurting. Now he does have
    arthritis in both hands but there is no proof that it was caused by
    the ultrasonic. However he didn't explode, get the bends or blood
    clots from it. Just pain. Not sure if this helps but thought you
    might like to know that he is still here and doing ok. (He even helps
    me set up at most of my shows.)
