"Gout is a form of arthritis that can affect many parts of the body, with the big toe being the most common place for it to start. Gout is the result of uric crystals around joints which take form when there are high levels of uric acid in the blood. Some of the main causes of Gout include: meat and seafood-rich diets, inactivity, alcohol, and exposure to lead. More than 8 million Americans suffer from Gout, with it being more common in men than women. Want to see a pair of human hands with gout? Check out memento.muttermuseum.org
