On the same vein as realizing my butter had unknown ingredients, I just found out that the Q-tips I used over the course of the last year, directly in my dry eyes to get out invisible cat hairs, was coated with triclosan. The package with the triclosan has a little orange label that says something like “hygiene shield”. Ask google about it. “potential as an endocrine disruptor, which can interfere with hormone systems and has been linked to allergic conditions in children. Other issues include contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, potential toxicity to aquatic life, and environmental persistence. Concerns also exist about its effects on the reproductive system and thyroid function. “
I'm realizing that I have to read ALL the fine print these days.
