I have had a raw magnet in my finger for about a year with no issues, what did I do different?
About a year ago I got some raw magnets online, just a super tiny one from 'super magnet man' I also (at the time) had heard about sugru being the thing to coat them in, but me being stupid (turns out maybe not so stupid) put this magnet in with nothing on it, plain jain, raw dogged it. I thought it would reject over a few months and I would have to get it taken out, But really it was a test, an experiment to see what was going to happen.
I have noticed a small pinch now and again while picking up heavy thing. But by using another magnet and a few playing cards I found that the strength has no changed since implanting the magnet a year ago.
So what did I do differently? It would be cool if we could figure it out so that maybe we find a way to implant non-coated magnets, (would cut down the cost a bit).
FACTS THAT MIGHT HELP:
1) I implanted it with a hollow piercing needs

maybe because I did it this way I have a build up or scar tissue?
2) I am vegan and drink mainly soylent
maybe it has something to do with the nutrition in my body?

3) I am a programmer
I do not lift heavy things very often, my magnet stays in a very stable place in my finger
4) I am 20 years old
My body might just still being adapting and growing and just accepted the magnet as a part of that process

very interesting that Jacob rejected 2 gold magnets while having a very similar life style as me.
