Masks -- Maggie was right

[Ed Pawlowski]

Maggie is afraid of inhaling chemicals from masks. I had an experience this morning that was horrifying.

I was sitting in the bathroom, a usual daily thing, and the sunlight was bright through the window above. I tore off some toilet tissue and in the sunbeam, I noticed tiny paper fibers floating around. I could easily inhale those dangerous fibers.

In conclusion, no more toilet tissue for me. Clearly a danger so I will be searching alternate methods and picking leaves.

TP should be banned, a health danger to society.

These fibers are only a hazard with excessive exposure in work places like cotton mills and the overwhelm the ability of your lungs to handle them. They are not like asbestos which gets stuck in the lungs and cannot be biodegraded or ejected by cilia. When I worked in fibers R&D we tested our man made fibers and they were no more hazardous than cotton.

TP is only a hazard if you eat it, particularly after usage.

Good to hear. Green leaves are OK, but when they dry out the edges are uncomfortable.

Use your washcloth. I thought you would know this stuff. I wasn't worried about a TP shortage.

Old outhouse joke where guy was calling out the door for toilet paper and told there was none. Guy then called out to ask if they had change for a $5.

Supposedly, the real old timers on farms used corn cobs. That would've had to be before

1960 or so. It's too bad Sears catalogues had so many slick pages.
