Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Wow!!! Be careful of Benzalchonium Chloride, though. I think I am experiencing some arthritis damage that may be due to it.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Holly, sweetie! I hope I would never be accusatory! You shared something of potentially great benefit. I appreciate that. Keep it up! Only _I_ can take responsibility for what I actually use. We have enough folks here to round out our knowledge. Between us, we are a VIRTUAL encyclopedia!
