Warning – do not read that Jezebel story about the jewelry, or especially the accompanying “gross story” link, while you are eating.
I have known about the “don’t leave your jewelry on/in all the time” thing since high school, when a friend of mine had a smallish ball stud earring grow into her ear, and had to have it cut out – front and back. Take your earrings out when you go to bed, folx.

When I was younger, I hadn’t taken my earrings out in YEARS – simple plain gold hoops and I never had any problems. I feel odd that I didn’t know that it’s common knowledge to remove jewelry on a daily basis.
