Molecules: You'd better learn to live with them.
Dimethyl fumarate is a fungicide and sensitizer:
It appears it's made its way into some Chinese-manufactured leather sofas, and caused ill effects consistent with a sensitizer (basically an allergen) in some people.
Product-safety stories: they feel almost idyllic - they hearken back to last year, when all you worried about was contaminated imports and not global financial collapse.
Comments
Don't be too smug. Legislated massive infusions of fire retardants into everything from cotton upholstery to naugahyde nominally protect smokers against evolution in action. Said safety nets test as cryptoestrogens and mutagens. They are intensely lipophilic.
It is better that 300 million Americans be dunned and harmed than one idiot be allowed to suffer the consequences of personal responsibility. We are from the government. We are here to help ourselves to you for the nicest possible reasons.
