long story but I'll tell it shortly:
I've got per total 2 piercings in my ears(in both) and I want to make another one in one ear. I convinced my mom, but when I was ready to go, she said that I can make leucemia(cooool...O.o)
I just can't find an answer on medical sites. help?
and don't ask me why I want a piecing, cuz I'll tell you all my theory about why I don't want to die in a perfect shape (and it's long)
I wonder if someone sais I can't ;;)

You need to clean your ears frequently after piercing until they are completely healed. I had to have one of mine redone recently because it closed up. The store recommended leaving the earrings in for at least 6 weeks and cleaning them 3-4 times a day with a solution the store gave me. Also, if the earrings are cheap you could be allergic to the metal. Good quality gold or stainless steel earrings should be used.

I assume you are meaning leukemia (cancer of the blood/bone marrow).
There is no known definitive cause for this, for anyone to say that ear piercings are a known factor are absolutely incorrect.

Well, that's certainly a good one, I've never heard of any thing like that before. What the heck is that all about, sounds like may be some one maybe your mom is just trying to scare you out of getting any more done!!

Not quite sure how ear piercings could possibly cause leukemia..which is cancer of the blood. You either get it or you don't...nothing causes it.

I have never, ever heard that, it sounds like she's making it up to scare you. There is no possible way that I can imagine that piercings could cause leukimeia.

You don't get leukemia from ear piercings. I'm sorry, but your mother is an idiot.
