We are surrounded by toxic chemicals in the products we use, the air we breathe, and even the clothes and bedding that touches our skin daily. It’s important to keep our exposure to a minimum to prevent both short and long-term damage. First off, when possible, avoid purchasing products that contain harmful chemicals, such as flame-retardant, stain-resistant, and water-repellant clothing. Choosing organic bedding and clothing is a good way to avoid skin irritation from chemicals. Make sure you wash your clothing before you wear it, since a 2010 Good Morning America segment found that clothes from many popular stores tested positive for bodily fluids, bacteria and other unpleasant contaminants. Dry cleaning where perchloroethylene (perc) is used should be avoided, as perc is a toxic chemical that can cause an array of problems from headaches and dizziness to cancer.
