Interesting. The feel of cotton balls creeps me out. Even the thought of them makes me shudder. It’s similar to nails on a chalkboard. I take the cotton out of pill bottles with a tweezer or a scissor and quickly toss it in the trash. But cotton gauze pads or sheets of cotton for Christmas scenes do not.
