Cynthia, I think Polarfleece, et al, are even more flammable, and on the
body they are not self-extinguising the way cotton is. Instead, it has a
very low flashpoint, and melts into a disfiguring mess of super-hot
plastic. I absolutely do not understand this love of Polarfleece and its
cousins for baby and infant wear, in light of this.

Regarding have plastic melt on the body: I once spilled a bowl of hot
fudge, direct from the pan, onto my leg and gave myself a lovely 2nd
degree burn--and that's after immediately getting it off my thigh (I was
wearing shorts). If I'd been wearing something that was melting onto me
I would not be sitting here typing to you today.

flammable that we used to save the dryer lint for campfire starters!
