Typical induce fear by ignoring the obvious approach.
Children do not clean themselves constantly with their tongue.
Why does this remind me of “The Sixth Sense”?
How about a bit of Pine-Sol in your soup?
Yep. They’ve been pimping this for a while now. All cut from the same cloth, I’m sure.
Mainly, you publish a little, tiny, insignificant “finding” so you can garner more Government Money (Tax Dollars) to stay in business.
They studied less than 100 pets in ONE Vet clinic. Come on!
Nyquil works quicker with less damaging side effects to the kids, LOL!
Are you old enough to remember when our folks could dope us up with over-the-counter cough syrup filled with codeine? I miss those days...
My mom would drink that for cramps.
I kid you not!
ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!
Please stop inserting household chemicals into your pets.
Thank you.
Maybe YOUR children don’t....
Nyquil or Pine-Sol?
(no really)
The codeine cough syrup.
I had a dog that got squirrel poisoning once. He puked it up fur and all right on the living room floor.
In 1902 the life expectancy in New York City, Pittsburgh and other cities was 40 years old. This was because of bad water and the close proximity of water wells to their outhouses. The building of the pipe lines and chlorination of water we now live to the 80s. The social security people want us to die earlier. Did you ever wonder how come we are living longer in spite of all the talk of the hazards of chemicals?
THESTORY3
Over-the-counter cough syrup?
Fancy-pants!
We just got a child sized version of a hot toddy. :-)

As far is the study is concerned, yes, it seems their sampling is rather small.
On the other hand, however, I know what kind of chemicals are in pet products, household cleaners, gardening sprays and personal care products.
I was forced by personal circumstances to 'go organic' almost 3 years ago when it concerned any product that I came in direct contact with.

The National Library of Medicine has a toxicology database that is, IMHO, very good: http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/
I urge everyone who has even minor skin problems to read the label of the products they use and research the ingredients.
It's amazing what using 'real' soap can do for your skin.
[and I say that as an dyed-in-the-wool, non-tree-hugging, meat-eating Texan.]

My Black Lab did that last spring with three baby rabbits. Of course we had company at the time, including two little kids who FREAKED out.
They got a graphic lesson in “The Circle of Life,” LOL!
Blackberry Brandy was another “medicine” Mom reached for often, LOL!
I, too, make a lot of my household cleaners. Not because we have allergies, but because I’m CHEAP. Water, and vinegar or water and bleach go a long way to killing just about any germ in any room. :)
Yep. Hydrogen peroxide is another favorite around here. Cheap, effective & practically orderless.
It just amazes me how much 'foof' is in things like shampoo and laundry products.
I've always seemed to have to race down the laundry isle because of the smell. Even before there was any chemical issue.
and don't get me started on those women who have to drown themselves in perfume before they go shopping.
I'd almost rather they break wind than smell like a $2 trick on central avenue.
BLEECH!

Heroin was originally a “trade name” for a Bayer cough syrup... it has since become a generic name for anything made from the same active ingredient.
From Wiki ... From 1898 through to 1910 heroin was marketed as a non-addictive morphine substitute and cough medicine for children. Bayer marketed heroin as a cure for morphine addiction before it was discovered that heroin is converted to morphine when metabolized in the liver, and as such, “heroin” was basically only a quicker acting form of morphine. The company was somewhat embarrassed by this new finding and it became a historical blunder for Bayer.
LOL!
And Coke was originally called 'Coca-Cola' because it contained nine-miligrams-per-glass of cocaine...a derivative of the coca plant.
Wouldn’t proper cooking temps. break down most of these chemicals in pets?
