Chemlawn bastards

But he *did not* say that makes it all right.

Correct in Utah as well. We live in a mosquito abatement area (wetlands... in a high desert state yet!), and aerial pesticide spraying happens every year. Well before spraying begins, all residents must be notified of when and where spraying will done, and what agent will be sprayed.

People are suddenly becoming sensitive to so many things because we are exposed to so many things, much more than before. It's in everything we eat, drink, wear and breathe.

That's now. Tomorrow is another story. And there's also the individual person who operated the sprayer. If they own a home, the neighborly thing to do would be to make them afraid they're going to lose it to settle the lawsuit.......

Its the toxic crap they put in everything. Fragrances are an unregulated industry, which is likely what's hitting you in the soap aisle.

Some of the chemicals they use are known sensitizers, ensuring that some people are going to become allergic.

I dislike the perfumes put in detergents and soap, and look for the kinds that contain no perfumes. Not allergic, but just don't like the smell left in fabrics. Some upper department stores put their cosmetic department near the entrance of the store, and these stores I avoid.

Yup.

I've gone into Whole Foods, when I was particularly sensitive, and needing to get some vitamin products. Those two areas are the same department at WF, and right next to each other. I told them I couldn't even go into the department to shop because of the crap. They offered to get the products for me, but I was needing to see what they had first. Wrote a letter to the corporate office. No avail.
