So many people suffer from scalp, underarm and groin irritations but fail to connect the dots in regards to their cheap beanies and underwear.
Im still concerned how some of the so called "safer" PFAS are still being used on clothing such as goretex, im not sure if they are all going to be phased out entirely from what I can tell.
Our company sells a lot of clothing and fabric (which are dressings free) to customers, or more commonly their kids/grandkids, with skin inflammatory conditions.
Yeah thats a bad one, I had the mistake to wear a net t-shirt that I didnt wash and i broke out in a rash, it can happen.
I believe most of it will wash out after enough repeated wash cycles, but there are a number of toxic chemicals in various dyes in the clothes today, depending on the manufacturer.
