Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 my dr instructed me to use no lotions or creams with alcohol in them since this is absorbed through liver - he said this was an area where people tended to neglect which could still cause problems- i found more info online regarding this, but brain fog does not allow me to tell u where - was before i learned to write everything down, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 This is something my sons have been told by doctors for years...that stuff is absorbed through the skin. They've also been cautioned that breathing paint fumes & model cement is bad for their livers so to be sure to keep the room well-ventilated when painting or working on models. Some paints and cement are less toxic than others so they try to get those when possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
