OT something smells

If you think a product has caused an adverse health reaction you can write
(or maybe E-Mail) that company. in the US they have to release info in a
"Material Safety Data Sheet" - MSDS- that tells all the chemicals in the
product. If they won't send it to you, see if your Dr can get them for you.
Write the requests and have him sign them.

Speaking of smelly things--I loathe the magazines that have scented cards
inside to sell perfumes. Gag me! Some of those perfumes smell nastier
than a polecat. And what about folks who are allergic to that crap?

Ooops. Please excuse the language.

Just in case you missed it - today the newspeople were telling us about
the danger of some scented things. You already knew what an impossible
challenge it was to buy much for cleaning that didn't come with an
assortment of scents that would gag a goat. It's worse than that.
Manufacturers are Not required to state on the container exactly what
they've used to produce their scents.
I won't launch into the tale about the time I brought home laundry
detergent that caused the laundry room cabinet to curdle and melt on the
floor. We'll move on past that.
Some 'scents' contain benzene which can cause pancreatic cancer.
Other scents contain other stuff, not named, and can cause other ills,
some like headaches and burning eyes, - some deadly.
I thought the scented things were merely offensive; had no idea that
they could kill us. Just thought you needed to know. Polly

I use a liquid Downy as my fabric softener--white bottle--unscented--if
there IS a scent I can't smell it.
another good thing, it doesn't clog the holes in the dryer vent screen.

Maybe I'll be okay. Being with DH has forced me to do without scents in
many things I enjoyed, mostly fabric softener. He has allergies to such
things so consequently I wash clothing with unscented detergents and no
fs. No smellies in the house, except the few cleaning products we have
that have them. And ow, I have a hard time going down the laundry aisle in
the grocery store to get to the unscented things because of the barrage of
smells from the other products there...

Education is when you read the instructions. Experience is what you get
when you don't.
