As a matter of fact, Formaldehyde is ORGANIC and very widely used in many things. Some of which are disinfectants, pressed wood, and apparantly some articles of clothing as well." (Water soluble, too.) It's considered dangerous because of what it's original intent is for - preserving things that were once alive to prevent decomposing. This woman isn't the first one this has happened to, specifically with bras, though not from VS. The only people affected by it are those with an allergy. |
