I meant a bit in a diminutive sense, since the trace exposure to phthalates and dioxins which you will be exposed to when unsheathing a record will have lasting effects on your liver. They won't be severe, but the liver has to work extremely hard to cope with phthalates and it leaves a mark even if it's just a bit and leaves a trace mark. You're taking the least generous spirit possible while talking about phthalate exposure which has strong and lasting effects on the liver even in trace amounts: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6373551/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6373551/

Quotes from the 1984 study: > Livers from rats provided with diet containing 2% DEHP show an increased number of peroxisomes after a few days > In spite of the lack of direct evidences […] the indications so far obtained are sufficiently unequivocal not to be neglected > We have reasons to believe that accumulating toxicity is valid for humans > which means that evaluation of chronic human toxicity cannot be performed until around 2000 to 2020! From that to “vinyl records will damage your liver” seems like a huge jump.
