Tagless Clothes Causing Rashes

Is the screen print used on tagless clothing is safe? Apparently
not.

I subscribe to Debra Dodd's newsletter and blog that helps
people with allergies and chemical sensitivities.

There was a question submitted about tagless clothes causing
rashes for babies and dozens of parents have answered back
saying yes. Their babies are having horrible rashes, sometimes
so bad they are oozing.

It would be better to put your babies in organic baby clothing
These manufacturers are usually very responsible about not
using anything toxic.

One lady reported her problem with Carter's and Gerber's tagless
tags to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Their number
is 1-800-638-2772.

A manufacturer got on and explained that it is usually the
ingredients used "One is a plastisol type, which is the same basic

material that the large designs on the front of t-shirts is made of...

the ink is a PVC blended into a Phthalate". "The other type of ink

is a solventborne polyurethane that is post cured via a catalyst...

typically a polyisocyanate... this ink can have 2 possible irritants...

small levels of formaldehyde in the urethane or residual

polyisocyanate that is left unreacted..." In other words, chemicals

and plastic.

Not all tagless clothes are doing this, but something in certain
brands such as Carter is definitely stirring up an allergy reaction
in these children.

Some say it is only 2007 clothes, and the manufacturer rep says
they are trying to develop something that does not do this. I say

consumer beware, especially if you have a baby, or or someone in

your family has allergies.

Hayfever

Well, It appears that hayfever season is in full bloom
here on the Oregon Coast.

There is a riot of blooms - flowers, trees and shrubs.
I am particularly allergic to scotch broom. It has a
bright yellow flower that sends me into allergy asthma.

Hay fever is in fact a reaction of the upper respiratory
to anything that you are allergic to. The medical term for
hay fever is allergic rhinitis. With this you would have
symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, congestion and
sneezing.

I have several pages on allergies up on one of my sites.
If you have allergies or hayfever, be sure to read up on it. I have some alternative health care
suggestions there.
