More knitting science – back to the carpal tunnel syndrome (knit, but don't wash! :)

In one Chinese study, knitting was not associated with the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome (se below), while manual washing and rolling or kneading dough were. I guess that means that knitting is safe, but that we should knit with machine washable yarns, so that we don’t get carpal tunnel syndrome by the following hand washing… ;)
