Question: What was on Saboga's hands??? Did you see them all showing their hands? They looked like they were covered in white paint or something odd. Anyone know what that was???

Kaili, I just watched last night's show again, and for some reason all the Saboga Tribe showed each other their hands... and they were white, sort of. I keep watching it over and over and still cannot figure out what they had on their hands. Maybe someone else will enlighten us. By the by, good to see you again!!! It feels good to be back on the boards.

That's what happens to hands when they've been wet and cold for hours at a time.

I figured it out while answering your Jerri question...it was lack of circulation from being cold. Your tips turn white- toes and fingers. it used to happen to me a lot and my mom gets it too.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and would spend hours at a time in the pool. Water logged is bad enough - I'd hate to be water logged and cold. Yikes! Looks like their new shelter is a vast improvement on the old one.

Actually, it isnt the cold itself, the water soaks into the outer layers of skin and callouses and turns them white(with water). After hiking and fishing, My hands would be bluish from the cold/rain and my boyfriend's would go white because of his thicker calloused 'working man's hands'.

It is also caused by no blood circulation

It's also caused by a condition called Raynaud's Disease, which is when hands/feet get cold and lose circulation. Women are more prone to get it than men. My mother and I both have it and it looks like my girls may be following in our paths. I doubt all of them had the disease, so I'm sure it was caused by being out in the cold and wet so long, but perhaps, the same type of symptoms as Raynaud's could be caused under extreme circumstances, where as those who have Raynaud's, find it painful to even get things out of the freezer. FWIW

Remember when kids were little and often refuse to come out of the bathtub or swimming pool, my mil would tell them how they're all going to turn in to pruns. So, weren't thoses finger tips white pruns?

From what I saw, the WHOLE hands werent white... Just the palms and tips of fingers where the skin is thicker. I have Reynauds and it looks like this...there is a pic of hand halfway down the link. http://www.vortex.is/hugvit/gigt/sjogren_grein.htm

Thanks for the link Suns. I get both reactions on my hands - turning purple and white and then they go numb. My mom's fingers go totally white - it's called "blanching." Not fun, but more of an annoyance than anything serious. I take meds for mine and it helps a lot. The only problem with it is it can be an indicator of other autoimmune disease either present or the possibilty of getting one in the future. Thanks for the hugs, KetchupLover!! Back atcha!

In my family we do call it turning "Prunie". I'm sure everyone here has experianced it. Ya have your hands wet too long and your fingers shrivel up and turn white. When my kids were little, like 3 & 6, whenever the bathroom was full of steam from running the bath, they would say that the bathroom was all "prunie" because they related the steamy bathroom to the "prunie" fingers. THEN, when we were driving around Newport Beach, and there was fog, the kids would say, "Mommie, look!, it's all "prunie" outside. The first time that happened, I nearly ran my car up a pole, I was laughing so hard.

Oh, and, BTW, Tho DD is now 35, and we are living in the Sierras, everytime we go down the hill and run into fog, one or the other of us will still say, "Oh, Wow, it's really prunie outside!"
