Formaldehyde Poisoning
Who would ever guess that this family was being poisoned by formaldehyde which was from their books, magazines and newspapers?
Formaldehyde is in BEER??? Maybe that's why I've never liked it. Well, I don't have nearly as many books, but I do get new books from publishers every now and then. They come wrapped in plastic which isn't any less toxic, but with new publications I have never been able to tolerate the smell of ink. New books that do smell end up out on my porch for a time. I NEVER buy newspapers for that same reason. I can't even stand touching the ink. I had no idea it was formaldehyde. Thanks for sharing.
