Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Sorry guys this one is just for the women: A friend sent me an email which really bothered me. It was about materials used inthe manufacturing of tampons (tampoons as I call them) It said that these are made with asbestos, bleach and other toxic chemicals but since not considered " injesting " it is okay. Asbestos causes asbestosis which is a death sentence. If breathing in asbestos causes lung cancer I can only imagine what wearing a tampon with asbestos in is doing to my body. I don't know how to attach the email I recieved but if someone could walk me through it I would be happy to post it. There may be an article on this in essentials magazine? There are two manufacturers that use only cotton and they are Organic essentials (800) 765-6491 and Terrafemme (800) 755-0212. Has anyone else heard of this?
