Guest guest Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Gil, I am sorry that you are so hyperreactive, but glad you are not really so sick in other ways. In a way you are lucky because you KNOW what bothers you and can do your best to avoid. For many others it's not so clear. Might I add that new clothes carry their own risks, formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals in new clothes make it prudent to wash them many times before wearing. This can even be true with organic sheets, clothing, because somehow there are loopholes that allow chemicals in these. I started watching a video, think it was on the canary report, about a german young woman who became sick working in a clothing store, and even though german and eu laws prohibit toxic chemicals in clothing, there is no regulation of chemicals being sprayed on the clothing during transport, so they get filled with chemicals even though they didn't start out that way, the video also showed indian workers being sickened by black dyes and more in fabric manufacturing in india...
