    Oof, I wear one on my finger. Never thought of this… Though, fingers don’t swell up as much as what they are referring to lol.

      I wear a tungsten ring, which is nigh indestructible. Once I got stung by a wasp between my fingers. I instinctively took the ring off immediately. A few seconds later my fingers swelled like crazy. I think I might’ve lost the finger if I didn’t take the ring off in time.

        Tungsten is brittle though, so at least it can be removed fairly easily. Locking pliers if you want to do it reasonably safely.
