I have heard this said numerous times and find it hard to believe...watch the 
movie Goldfinger, James bond's girlfriend gets painted Gold and suffocates. 
People say you skin needs to breath or you die, but I think it gets its oxygen 
supply from blood...please clear up this question once and for all...Thanks
