Abstract
The upper bound on the number of relativistic species present at nucleosynthesis has been used to constrain particles with electric charge (). We correct the bound previously calculated for milli-charged particles that interact with a shadow photon. We also discuss the additional constraints from the properties of red giants and of Supernova 1987A.
